Chada

Farewell to a Lioness

31 October 2011

One of the Chada pride's best hunters has finally succumbed to her wound. Kicked in the back by a buffalo while hunting in June, Salama has been nursing a gash in her back that stubbornly refused to heal.

We found her body, but we would rather just show you this, her paw, and some pictures of her in life.

Salama right, arguing with her sister over a choice piece of hippo.

When we posted the above shot on Chada's Facebook page in August, we still had high hopes that Salama would pull through.

Salama (right) nuzzles her sister. We are not the only ones who will miss her it seems.

Farewell to a lovely lady.
