Thermal Cameras Capture Lions On a Midnight Hunt
Thermal cameras capture seven female lions moving in on a herd of tsessebes. With night vision six times greater than humans, the lions quickly spread out under the cover of darkness undetected. This time, the females enlist more help from the pride – three sub-adult males. But that also means less food to go around, and the lionesses and cubs go hungry again despite their successful kill.
