6 Mar 2014. Green Grass. Widespread rain during the previous fortnight has resulted in a flush of green grass and flowers on the gravel plains between the Ugab and Huab Rivers. This is a difficult time for the lions that inhabit the area because the main prey species (Oryx, Hartmann’s zebra, ostrich & springbok) that normally frequent the ephemeral riverbeds have dispersed in pursuit of the new vegetation.
