How desert lions survive in one of the world's harshest environments
In short: This footage captures two young lions hunting a local village donkey herd. It explores the survival of these magnificent cats in the Namib Desert, a landscape defined by scorched giant sand dunes.
The video follows the mysterious history of the Namib Desert lions, a population that vanished in the mid-1980s only to return years later. Ranger Philip 'Flip' Stander investigates how these predators endure such extreme conditions.
As lions attack village donkeys, Flip faces the difficult challenge of fostering harmony between these predators and the community.
