The video shows one of the biggest lion prides ever seen, walking down the road in the Kruger National Park, causing traffic to come to a standstill.
The lion is the largest predator in the African wild, living at the top of the food chain. Lions are also the only social cats on earth, living together in family prides that usually averages between five and ten lions per pride. There are rare instances when lions do form what is called mega prides, consisting of twenty plus lions. The pride of lions shown in the video was twenty-six members strong and really a sight to behold. This mega pride of lions was found one morning early, casually strolling down the main tar road of the National Park. Animals that walk long distances sometimes prefer walking on the roads of the park as it is the way of least resistance and obstacles. On this day, all twenty-six lions were walking along the tar road, making for an incredible sighting. There was no way of passing through these lions and quickly the ques of tourist traffic were just building and building, with long lines of vehicles having to wait a long time before moving again. It was not like anyone was in a hurry because seeing so many lions together is not a common sight. The lion roadblock continued for even longer, when pretty much the whole pride eventually decided it was a good time to lie down and rest in the middle of the road. The mega pride of lions blocked the road for a good hour before they moved off and disappeared back into the bush.
