, NgoroNgoro, Tanzania.

L'ultimo giorno nel Ngorongoro, dopo aver visto un branco di leoni in grande forma con le pance piane, abbiamo trovato una coppia che mostrava grandissimi segnidi sofferenza.. NOn erano vecchissimi ma dovevano avere contratto una grave malattia che li aveva debilitati a tal punto che il maschio, nonostante la giovane età era magrissimo e faticava a tenersi in piedi !

They were sad to me those two lions. The disease does not look at anybody.

It is really sad! to show that for predators life can be very hard ..
I do not know what they were but thought it might be contagious and not a little worried about me!

Thanks Mommotti,
I'm happy: they are usually very cautious on 'use of BN in the photos of amimali but in this case I had little doubt about which version to post .... ;-)

He looks down and yet lost in the void. I'm very sorry.
Nice document. The right choice of Black and White. Hello!

Thank you!
It 's true, it is a scene that made me very sad!
Especially the male was really exhausted and I think that maybe it will be near the end supervening not long after for a pack of hyenas ..........

Unfortunately, among 'other are my favorite animals but the life of the savannah is also and this is never kind to predators.
In the Serengeti over 90% of male lions do not die a natural death!

Sad but very realistic, black and white It acquires the drama '. Beautiful photos.

A nice document, rather the expression and location of the lion give an idea of ??what is suffering.
Poor lion.

Beautiful ..... but between this and that of the small wildebeest stifled by young female cheetah put me a sadness crazy.
Fortunately or unfortunately ..... I was back home ... :-(

Hello Daniel!
Actually for the little gnu course I was sorry but I have been these two lions (there was also a female) to get really sad.
Every day the predators eat the prey as it should be, and usually lasts less suffering because the prey is killed mind the disease is something perhaps more unexpected weakening day by day and is perhaps something we unfortunately closer ....

A Ngorongoro there is a problem due to genetic isolation parts that makes the lions in that area particularly prone to diseases than others, and of course the normal causes of death for large predators (food shortages, territorial struggles, trauma and fractures reported during hunting, etc.). It 'a known issue that you are trying to remedy the many difficulties, so it may be that the condition of these lions relatively young but well tanned has something to do with it.
I've been to Ngorongoro in February and then again in May, fortunately for my mood I have not seen any similar scene. One morning, however, I came across a lioness with her two small children, they were really small but it had been only two ... was sad to see her again a couple of days after evederne one.
However, this shot is a beautiful testimony even if it's one of those things you would prefer not to see. The nature, moreover, is not only leopards on the tree with the background sunrises or sunsets.

wow!

And 'the harsh law of nature and natural selection. Brings sadness, but we can not do anything.
Moving on to the photos, b / w in my opinion is the best choice to make it even more dramatic and colorless shooting scene.
Bravo Memy, as always!

Hello Edward,
the Ngorongoro is a magical place that I frequent regularly for the past 15 years, and of which I know well enough to have had the 'opportunity to speak with many researchers and to be honest the lions of the Ngorongoro are not as isolated as they can get in and out without problems for which there is a replacement of the cyclic genes regulated mostly by the power of the lions residents who obviously defend the land and fight the 'entry of new players.

The problems of these two lions were almost certainly due to an illness or a major food poisoning while the infant mortality of lions (even worse for cheetahs ......) unfortunately is something "normal" and only a few puppies ( 1 to 6 if I remember correctly ..) arrive at 'adulthood.
The'Genetic isolation instead is great for rhinos blacks so much so that for years there have been no births until they were introduced in the specimens of the same subspecies, which came from South Africa and, since that time, a population is practically destined to run out is taken, and 7/8 specimens has reached 15 but I have current data .....

Ohibò, ethology reserves many surprises but all this freedom of movement in and out of the crater reaches me, I must say, quite new, about the lions of Ngorongoro.
The scientific literature is quite unanimous in describing the Ngorongoro as an isolated population and genetic parts with close to zero. It seems certain that the current resident population is descended from a dozen common ancestors existed around 1960/1965 and some say that between 1965 and the end of the eighties only a male lion was able to settle into the crater and putting on family ... is possible that one is only little, however studies conducted among the lions of Ngorongoro and the Serengeti in the mid-nineties showed some differences in the reproductive and deficiencies in the fertility of the first, due precisely to their state of isolation:

Reduced genetic variability is known to adversely affect ejaculate quality in inbred lions (Panthera leo) physically isolated in the Ngorongoro Crater Compared with outbred lions inhabiting the adjacent Serengeti Plains in East Africa by Genetic Diversity Affects testicular morphology in free -ranging lions (Panthera leo) of the Serengeti Plains and Ngorongoro Crater (1996).

It goes without saying that the lions of Ngorongoro do everything possible to prevent the entry to male and female competitors and often they succeed, it's their nature, in this sense would be themselves responsible for these genetic deficiencies with everything that goes with it .
Add to this, the morphology of the territory, which certainly does not help "crossings".
Some external sample will probably succeed in getting from time to time: the fact is that for Ngorongoro estimated a loss of genetic heritage, in the last twenty years, amounting to about 10%.
And there is the lion-human conflict to the extent that, if it is true that between the NCA and the Serengeti there are no barriers, the NCA is populated by the Masai, Masai and shepherds do and lions attacking their livestock. So the Masai go to town, buy pesticides and use them to poison our friends lions out of the Serengeti to the NCA and vice versa:

baraza.wildlifedirect.org/files/2010/05/lion-small.jpg

This picture was taken for the truth in the Masai Mara, Ngorongoro but it does not change. I had the opportunity to speakand those that lions poisoned them go to take the effect of pesticides is devastating, the poisoned animal inflates like a balloon and in the vast majority of cases there is nothing left to do but to pull his shot in the head ...

So it will be also true that on paper the lions are free to move to and from the crater, "no problems" precisely, maybe not.

In conclusion, it may be that the genetic issue has nothing to do with the unfortunate creature immortalized by you. The fact is that the theory of cyclic replacement and entry / exit without problems by the NCA seems to me, in fact, more theoretical than anything else, given the situation - oh, and then I can always go wrong, eh, and hence of articles that tell the question on the contrary I have not yet read mica.

<br /> I do not know much about rhinos and restocking. But I know that at 12 June there were more than 400 killings by poachers and if the trend will continue in this way, by the end of 2013 will exceed 800. That then means extinction. The fact is, as the South Africa recently sent the army to control the parks, poaching today is moving towards different areas and less guarded including East Africa, and also Kenya and Tanzania.

wow!
