Raw Tsavo Nights

4. On this night the family trio we first saw were lucky.  A full grown buffalo had been killed by two fully-mature male brother lions (one above), who allowed the unrelated family to share it - within limits.  At this moment the sub-adult males have just been chased off leaving the mother lion (lying down with the radio collar) to continue eating.   But one of the muscled-up males persists in displaying his dominance.  Note the missing mane (just a little mohawk) and the grey colouring of his head and body.
