Bryden, Bruce Robert UCTD Biology African lion Kruger National Park Dissertation (MSc (Wildlife Management))--University of Pretoria, 1976. The history of lions in the Kruger National Park is given. Lions were caught and m8rked to determine the most suitable marking methods as well as fitted with radio transmitting collars to facilitate daily location. Predation in general and the prey population are discussed. Results of biotelemetric tracking are given and discussed. From this is calculated the mass of prey animals killed per year, the daily food intake of a lion and the food requirements of a lion using the "prey unit" as a basis. Factors affecting the success of a hunt, hunting techniques and behaviour at a kill are discussed. Information on mortality, reproduction, territoriality, and movements are presented. Taking into consideration the effect of lion predation, suggestions are made for future research and management of this animal in the Kruger National Park.
