The vast wilderness of Cameroon is a little different from much of Africa, but it is home to lions just like most of the continent. Here they are rarer and so when they are found they are usually monitored and relocated to the national park, but this time things got out of control.
In this wild and fascinating environment lives the Tikar tribe, an ancient people who have found their place in the balance of wild lands. The Tikar have slightly more advanced contractions than tribes living more isolated in the savannahs; for example, the use of bricks and tiles is common in their villages. But the life of balance that one of the Tikar tribes was enjoying was deeply shaken in mid-2013.
One morning, as some men were returning from collecting water, they spotted unmistakable footprints in the mud along the river. They did not belong to antelopes or buffaloes. They were large, deep, circular footprints-that is, lions.
Later that day, a group of hunters saw something even more alarming: a male lion, two lionesses, and several cubs walking slowly along the edge of a hill, a few kilometers from the village. The cats seemed calm, but their proximity to humans was enough to trigger the alarm.
The Tikar knew what the presence of these predators meant. Although the lions generally avoided direct contact with people, their mere proximity posed a risk. The livestock, essential to the tribe’s survival, became easy targets, and the children, who often played around the huts, could be in danger. There was no room for carelessness. Concerned, the tribe’s leaders decided to seek help from the local authorities. They did not want the lions to be killed, only relocated. Teams of rangers were sent to the area, equipped with bait such as fresh meat, and they laid a trail for the lions that would lead them to the national park, believing that the plan, although simple, would work as it had done before in another nearby region. Initial reports indicated success. The lions’ tracks and trails disappeared from the village’s vicinity, and the rangers declared that the cats had followed the bait trail out of Tikar territory. Relief swept through the community. The nights were quiet again, with children playing and campfires burning without the shadow of bright eyes watching from the darkness.
But this feeling of security would be brief. Something was not right. But the people who lived there had no idea of the moments of terror they would face...
Night fell over the Tikar village, enveloping the houses in silent darkness. Everyone went to sleep, but predators were prowling the region unseen; they had returned and were too close for anyone to call for help.
It was difficult to say why the lions had returned. Perhaps it was the smell of the cattle, so close and so easy to kill. In times of scarcity, domesticated prey becomes an irresistible target for hungry predators.
Whatever the reason, one of the lionesses, with her agile and powerful silhouette, appeared like a shadow between the trees and approached the goat enclosure.
The goats, bound by their instinct that alerted them to danger, began to agitate and make loud noises that woke everyone in the tribe.
Men and women came out of their huts with torches, and the two hunters were armed with spears and knives, trying to understand what was happening. It was then that they saw her: the lioness, with her powerful jaws, was dragging a goat from the enclosure.
The initial fear quickly gave way to determination. The hunters felt obliged to protect the community and the rest of their livestock, and as they were the only ones with defense tools, they didn't think twice and killed the lioness while she was distracted eating the prey she had just killed.
The problem seemed solved. The lioness, who had dared to challenge the tribe, was no longer a threat. But that didn't last long, in fact only a few seconds, because they heard roars coming from the hill. It was the male lion, the leader of the lionesses, who had witnessed the entire scene from afar and was now enraged at losing one of his queens.
His fury was palpable...
