Lion
Sighted on: 05.Aug.2024
During the game drive this morning, we chanced upon a pride of lions resting in the dense bush. I say 'chanced upon' because they were so well camouflaged that we could have missed them completely. Many species, especially lions, employ camouflage to disguise their true shape and avoid detection or recognition by prey animals. Disruptive colouration is a form of camouflage in which high-contrast patterns obscure internal features or break up an animal's outline. Disruptive colouration often co-occurs with background matching, and together, these strategies make it difficult for an observer/ prey to distinguish an animal from its background visually. Our guests were able to observe this first-hand with the lions camouflaged perfectly in the bush.
