A lioness drinks from a rock-ringed borehole in Kalahari-Gemsbok National Park, a 3,700-square-mile (9,600-square-kilometer) slice of desert in South Africa's Northern Cape Province. Lions had all but disappeared from South Africa by the turn of the 20th century due to unbridled hunting, but the seeds of a remarkable comeback were planted in the 1890s with the country's first game reserves.

一只雌狮在一个岩石围绕的凿洞旁饮水,在南非喀拉哈里沙漠-大羚羊国家的公园,面积达到9600平方公里,但是那只是南非北部沙漠的一片。南非的狮子曾经几乎消失在二十世纪,是由于放肆的猎杀,但是自从1890年以来注意保护后,南非政府赢得第一次胜利狮子的储量增加了。
