On the southern edge of Ngorongoro Swamp, the lake cats have a new opportunity to make a big kill. Buffalo have poor vision. They are only 30 meters away, but in the dim morning light, they can't see the pride. While they don't see very well, buffalo can smell predators over 150 meters away. This time, luck is on the lions' side. They are downwind.
The lake cats fail again. The other two buffalo take cover in the swamp. They'll simply wait for the pride to move on. The pride is still adjusting to hunting without Moj and now Kea has now become too slow to help in the chase. But hunger isn't their only problem now. There are enemies just outside their territory.
Four powerful male lions lurk on the borders of Kea and Moran's home. Now that they are over three years old, these nomadic lions have been chased out of their own pride to the crater. Today they set their sights on a big prize- the lake cat lionesses. The nomads are now sexually mature, and they want to mate. But to win control of the pride, these young males would first have to get past Moran.
