Xikavi & Cub

Xikavi & her growing Male Cub were found on a Duiker kill, which she hoisted to safety from the waiting Hyenas.

They were seen lying some distance from the tree where the kill was hoisted. Xikavi kept an ever-watchful eye on her Cub, he then moved closer to his mother for some affection. He then claimed the kill as he played with the remains while the Hyena anxiously looked on for anything that might fall to the ground.
