[@rhobot75]

Wow!!! Because Yah, I remember a documentary, perhaps by Nature.. some organization.. many years ago about the Lions of Namibia and how they were cut off from ancestral beach hunting grounds and had lost living memory but the researchers et al could only watch and hope someday the lions would again find the beach. This is really so wonderful to see because it will help the lions survive and grow and hopefully not poach cattle et al from humans. Great news! I'm all for it.

[@annstar2793]

@ that is something I never knew about before. Thank you this is the beauty of nature

[@nojorooney]

@ no problem 👍 it’s amazing how adaptable these animals are to the point where they regularly interact with animals that you’d never expect them to, like brown hyenas which are also found on the skeleton coast and coexist and hunt fur seals, leopard seals also swim from Antarctica all the way to Australia and sometimes interact with and hunt platypus, some crocodiles live in the Abanda caves of Gabon and eat bats, and camels will regularly swim across miles in open ocean where sharks reside

Not surprising at all, they are intelligent and adaptive animals. They will stalk and eat any live prey. Seals are mostly blubber so surprised they are interested in them. The Skeleton Coast is a very desolate place that is hard to survive in, maybe they have no choice but to hunt what is available.

[@zolanihogana]

Did you guys take these lions to the beach to hunt seals so you can get your "story"? Disgusting.

[@stefansalvatierra4913]

No. Desert lions have been making a slow and steady comeback to the Skeleton Coast after being hunted to near extinction in the ‘80s, and even before then they used to prowl the beaches hunting seals and feasting on dead whales (and I’ve seen footage of such behavior..). Now they’re rediscovering old haunts and learning to hunt there again..
