Lion Behavior and Identification Study

The video explores the vast Kathoey National Park, highlighting its role in preserving Africa's iconic predators. Biologist Milan Binks, a wildlife biology expert, leads a study on the park's carnivores. The decline of apex predators like lions, wild dogs, and cheetahs has disrupted ecosystems, increasing smaller species' populations and causing issues for local communities. A surprising encounter with the Moshi pride reveals insights into lion family dynamics. The team uses photography to identify and track lions, ensuring updated records for future research.
