Haven't found my trail cam photo of 4 lions yet...

I think it's on an external storage drive. BUT... I did come across this one and it's interesting because:
The timestamp on the photo shows that this was taken no more than 15 minutes after my cousin passed thru this exact spot. Late evening. I was about ¼ mile up the road working on a water tank. Our cabin directly between where this lion is walking on the road and the water tank I was working on. They are nearly impossible to spot in the wild oats when the oats turn golden in color.
This was taken last summer... and most likely the same Lion I saw 3 maybe 4 years ago and I say that because she is seen pretty often, by others, and always in this area. BTW... it is a myth that Lions are very territorial as far as the area they travel. They can, and do, roam great distances. Just my speculation but this one I believe to be the mother of the cubs I saw in this area a few years ago. Others saw the cubs as well. Mothers will and do give birth in the same area, over several years, if it's considered a 'safe' location.
