Bahati Ya Kawinda is Swahili for “lucky hunting.” This piece features a family of lions on a fresh warthog kill. Even though this is small prey for two adults and three cubs, it probably was an important hunting lesson for the cubs that before long will be capable of capturing prey on their own. And as with most kills in East Africa, it does not take long for scavengers to show up hoping to steal a tidbit for themselves.
