๐Ÿฆ Curiosity caught the cat! This young male lion spotted something out of the ordinary when he came face-to-face with our camera trap in Kasungu National Park. Thereโ€™s been no resident lion population there over the last ten years but we're now seeing an increase of lion reports

And hereโ€™s an excellent example! The Matriarch had already crossed the river and sent an seismic message via infrasound of her low rumbles, transmitted through the earth! The freezing of the elephants movement, means theyโ€™re listening with their feet

Hot off the press ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ The desert-adapted lions re-discovered the rich resources of the ocean, but they also encountered fishermen at Torra Bay.

Currently sat on a delayed 8hr train from the Scottish highlands to Bristol. Flying would have been a lot cheaper and quicker - but with the environmental costโ€ฆ. Well here I am, sat on a train. It makes me so angry that we all try are hardest to make small differences every day.
