Are you sure that is a lion? I mean, what would one be doing all the way out in the middle of the desert? He must be one thirsty lion.

It looks like the animal(s) that made the tracks lives in a den in the outcrop area to the west. This is not lion habitat, nor do lions dig dens. A more likely possibilitity:

Quote:

The Brown Hyena is found in Namib and is a predator. As seen in the program The Living Edens "Namib", the Brown Hyena will prey on Cape Fur Seal pups. The Brown Hyena is found throughout southeastern Africa. The Brown Hyena grows to about 4 feet long and weighs over 100 pounds. The Brown Hyena is usually nocturnal and is not active during the day. The Brown Hyena will eat all small prey including birds, insects, rodents and anything else it can find. It will also eat carrion found along the coast such as dead fish and seals or whales. The scientific name of the Brown Hyena is Hyena brunnea.

Note: The area with the tracks is in the northern Namib Desert ,an area called The Skeleton Coast .
