The oldest lion in Kruger is seen in an old state, fighting and supporting himself alone in the last days of his life.

Dubbed the “lord of the jungle”, possessing excellent hunting skills, lions are animals that are respected and loved by many people.

Lions often live in savannas and steppes. They have different social behavior compared to other cats. Like other feline animals, grassland kings spend 2-3 hours a day hunting, 1 hour eating and the remaining 20 hours just sleeping.

It can be said that, like a big family, a pride of lions is led by a healthy male lion, however he will not go looking for food or participate in many activities but will take on important tasks. “noble” such as ensuring the safety of the entire herd or dealing with territorial invaders.

It is easy to recognize the head lion of the herd, because of its majestic and majestic appearance, with a very thick and erect mane on the neck, which protects the neck area when fighting and attracts the affection of the lion. children. The older the male lion, the darker his mane.

Female lions will be smaller in size and more agile, suitable for hiding and stalking, so they will mostly take on the task of hunting.

Unlike other species in the cat family, lions rarely hunt independently but gather in groups, including many females. Each female lion will have a unique role in the group.

Flexibility in arrangement makes lion groups extremely elite when hunting, able to take down large prey such as buffalo, wildebeest or even elephants and giraffes. …

Lions usually have a lifespan of about 10 – 14 years in the wild. In protected areas, they can live more than 20 years. In the wild, male lions rarely live more than 10 years.

That is due to the fact that male lions constantly have to participate in fights with opponents to gain territory and protect the pride…

Not only that, old lions often tend to separate from the herd (or be expelled from the herd) to live a lonely, pitiful life.

Two guys, Storm Zackey and Andrew, on a journey to explore the nature of Kruger National Park, were the lucky ones to witness the last years of life of the oldest lion here, commonly known as Lubyelubye.

During the trip, the tourists saw many lions living in Kruger, but they could not believe the miracle they saw on the way to the Crocodile Bridge.

When he got a little closer, Zackey was sure the animal in front of him was a male lion. Not only that, the additional information made the guests surprised. Before them was Lubyelubye, the oldest male lion still living in Kruger.

It slowly walked on the road, each step slowly but still exuding a strong appearance. It can be clearly seen that there are no wounds on the lion’s body, it’s just that old age has made it no longer the same as before.

Everyone felt extremely honored to see a living legendary warrior on the move.
