One Othawa lioness with a baby buffalo kill
Ximhungwe pride of lions - 3 females and two sub adults (one male, one female) - with th third Othawa lioness, feeding on another buffalo calf that was killed by the two Othawa lionesses before the Ximhungwes turned up. There was little to no aggression shown between the rival females after the initial stealing of the kill and the one Othawa female that remained at the carcass was feeding alongside the Ximhungwe pride quite happily.
