Title: How many lions??
Post by: jackelope on October 02, 2013, 07:24:12 PM: I'm wondering how many different lions I have on camera. Reallistically I probably won't be able to tell....just figured I'd throw it out there.
Any thoughts?
Really, I think the color/daytime pics might be 3 different ones. There's 2 obviously....an adult and a juvenile. Trying to decide if the 4th pic is another or one of the same....they're about an hour or so apart.

Do you think the 4th pic is a different lion than the top 2?

That's the youngster. Not sure how old. Maybe a yearling? Seems big to be this years young.

I'm pretty positive they're cattle.

Post by: Humptulips on October 08, 2013, 03:54:32 PM: The two cats in the same picture both have short tails so that tells me small cats. There mother has to be about so that adds up to at least three in my book.

Lots of animals taking a crap on camera this year. I think they're pissed at all the cameras in the woods. It's a revolt.

I was wondering about that. I was assuming the top picture was momma, the crapper was one of the youngsters. The one with the 2 I thought would have been mother and youngster. The 4th pic had me though. Looks like the 1st picture is a healthy looking, well fed adult lion and the 4th one down is a lot bonier, older, less healthy looking. Dont' know. I'm pretty positive there's 3 for sure at least.

The camera is still taking pictures. We'll see what more we've got this weekend.
