Summary
editDescriptionMale lion Pilanesberg National Park.jpeg |
English: “This image was captured in Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa during a management operation to dart and anesthetize the male lion on the left of the photo. I managed to take the shot as the lion and lioness tore an adult impala, which was being used as bait, in half. Lions are a key predatory species in the national park that play a crucial ecosystem role. Maintaining a healthy population of lions requires collecting detailed data on genetics, body weight, condition and disease. This image captures both the important management operation and the predatory role and power of lions.”
Afrikaans: “Hierdie foto is geneem tydens 'n bestuursoperasie in Pilanesberg Nasionale Park, Suid-Afrika, om die manlike leeu aan die linkerkant van die foto te dartel en verdoof. Ek het die foto geneem toe die leeumannetjie en -wyfie besig was om 'n volwasse rooibok, wat as aas gebruik is, in die helfte te skeur. Leeus is belangrike roofdiere in die nasionale park wat 'n unieke rol in die ekosisteem vervul. Die handhawing van 'n gesonde leeubevolking vereis dat gedetailleerde data oor genetika, liggaamsmassa, kondisie en siekte versamel word. Hierdie foto vang benewens die belangrike bestuursoperasie ook roofrol en krag van leeus vas.” |
