One Fat Cat!
We found four very fat lions with a zebra stashed deep in the bushes nearby, to hide it from vultures. This lioness, Stompy, named apptly for her stumpy tail, actually has an amazing story. Her back legs are deformed and from seeing her walk I assume that running is not an easy task for her either. She is not a young lioness and has obviously been carried by her pride for a number of years which shows just how strong pride bonds are, especially between the females. Yet she continues to live a normal lion life and from the photo you can see its a cushy one at that.
