Lion Cubs Play Ball In Tsavo's Ngutuni

A pair of lion cubs play with a ball of dried elephant dung at Ngutuni Sanctuary, Tsavo East

Lion cubs are never short of ideas when it comes to searching for interesting fun and games. From biting down on sticks to chasing mummy's tail about, when cubs are in a playful mood the possibilities of finding makeshift toys in the wild are endless.

After these two lion cubs at Ngutuni Sanctuary finished their evening nap and were fully energized for some games, a dried ball of elephant dung became the center of their attention as the pair playfully pounced on it, picked it, ran with it and tossed it around until the ball eventually crumbled apart into little pieces.
