Did you know when lions drink, they use the tip of their tongue to flick water upward in a quick, precise motion—up to four times per second! Their tongue acts like a fast-moving scoop, creating a column of water they catch in their mouth. While they can go days without drinking, relying on moisture from their prey, scenes like this—where they pause for a drink, is pretty spectacular!

Nenkoyiankalani is a remarkable lioness and one of the few remaining members of the famous Selenkay pride. Known for her intelligence and resilience, her movements are swift and at times naughty, often leading her to visit community livestock enclosures (bomas) in the depths of night.

One of the most remarkable chapters in her story occurred during a hunting episode near a community. After attacking a zebra, the animal, desperate for safety, ran into a boma. Nenkoyiankalani, undeterred, followed the zebra inside and the boma owner was awakened to find her standing triumphantly over the zebra in the boma! However, rather than escalating the conflict, the livestock owner did something remarkably clever. He pulled the zebra out of the boma and offered it to Nenkoyiankalani as a trade—hoping to spare his livestock for the night. This gesture, while successful in the moment, was a temporary solution.

The Lion Guardians team recognized that Nenkoyiankalani’s movements and timing were unpredictable, making it difficult to prevent her from preying on livestock. Despite several attempts to keep Nenkoyiankalani away from community livestock, including mock hunts and the establishment of mobile conflict camps near her territory—Nenkoyiankalani continued to outsmart the team. To address the issue more effectively, the decision was made to collar her. This allowed the team to track her movements in real-time, offering a more proactive approach to mitigating conflict. With the support of the Kenya Wildlife Service , the collaring process was successful. Now, the team monitors her movements closely, preventing further attacks on livestock while continuing efforts to foster coexistence between wildlife and the surrounding communities.

Nenkoyiankalani’s story is more than that of a clever lioness; it is a testament to the ongoing process of promoting peaceful human-lion coexistence in the wild.
