The story.....
An early morning visit to the Marsh Area of the Maasai Mara brought us to a small wooded area where we found these four tiny little bundles of joy tucked away in a hollowed out tree trunk. We were lucky enough to spend the whole morning with them. It was a rainy, cold day and not many vehicles were in the area. These cubs had been stashed away by their mother who had gone off to hunt for food. The most amazing thing about this wonderful story unfolding in front of us was that these cubs did not move out of the hollowed out log all day, they did not make any sounds but quietly lay next to each other sleeping and occasionally rearranging themselves within the log. We left them there at the end of the day wondering about their safety. We later heard that their mother (who was the famous Siena from the documentary Dynasties) left them there for 3 days when finally the matriarch of the pride Charm went back and fetched them. And as this pride did so often Charm went on to raise them as it appeared Siena was not the best of mothers.
