We found the York pride again on the morning of the 12th after they had disappeared for about a week. It was clear that they were still hunting and we decided to follow them for a while which turned out to be a wize decision as they killed a young kudu shortly afterwards. Big Boy, the dominant male, raced to the kill and chased everyone off. The cubs, however, were reluctantly allowed to feed. At one stage Big Boy had enough of them and tried to drag the kill away. The cubs refused to let go and he eventually gave up.
