Dr. Johan saves Lion from snare.
It’s early morning and the STS team in South Africa are on their way to a reported sighting of a Lion with a wire snare around his neck.
The reserve anti-poaching unit observed the young male Lion the day before and we were contacted to assist.
On arrival the pride has moved off into a thick riverine area and we had to wait until dark to track them.
They killed a Zebra and eventually we managed to dart the young male and remove the snare before it could cause too much damage.
The next morning we got a quick glimpse of the male, while he stared at us with his amber eyes, eventually turning and joining the pride again.
