Lion cub plays with scaly anteater
25 Jul
Let’s say it’s a boring, hot Monday in the Okavango. Most of the lion pride are doing what they do best: sleeping. So what might a restless lion cub do to pass the time?
Maybe a little game of “cat and pangolin“?
Who goes here? The scaly shape of a pangolin, a type of anteater, appears out of the undergrowth.
A little exploratory tap. Pangolins are rarely seen in these parts - which might explain the cub's curiosity.
Rolled up in a defensive ball, the pangolin is protected by its scaly, armoured exterior.
A change of tactics: when all else fails, chew on it.
Cub teeth: 0 | Pangolin armour: 1
The pangolin proves impenetrable, but the cub's not quite ready to relinquish its new toy.
