Kayla du Toit said the scene took place on a quiet morning as she and her friends were driving around the area. “We drove up at 5:30 a.m. but didn’t see much for about an hour,” Kayla du Toit said. Suddenly the tour guide discovered a leopard walking on the side of the road.”
The convoy followed the animal and discovered a lion nearby approaching the main road. Kayla du Toit said: “We followed it from afar and saw the leopard constantly looking to the left, towards the bushes, so we guessed it was watching a gazelle or hearing some noise but when Looking closely, I discovered a female lion.”
African lions often live in groups. Females are often responsible for being the main һᴜпteгѕ, while males are responsible for protecting the territory.
