Yawning, stretching, licking and then rising the two lionesses and four cubs headed north towards the Sand River. There were four younger cubs further north of the river and the pride needed to get back to them. It took them a long time to reach crossing as they stopped to drink and tentatively watched the steadily flowing current move past them. Straining ears to listen for potential threats and watching murky shadows to avoid one of the lionesses took the first steps into the water.
