  • We see a lot of these dead trees - killed by elephants removing the bark with their tusks.
  • We've covered the terrain enough times, we're starting to get a sense of where we are. We're tracking our friends the lion family.
  • Today's sunrise won't be as spectacular because the sky is clear.
  • But there is a moonset. It was the final night of a full moon.
  • Typic tree on the bush veldt.
  • Notice how Simbas has to run to keep up with his elders.
  • Simba is hanging out in the sun - he's not excited by the kill since he gets to nurse regardless of antelope offering themselves for breakfast.
