For six months of dry season, the lions' tawny coats blended with the surrounding grasses in a perfectly matched camouflage, allowing them to roam the short grass plains while still maintaining their stealth.
Then Katavi started turning green and the lions had to resort to more creative tactics for concealment...some more creative than others, obviously.
As we methodically study the individuals of the different Katavi lion prides, we sometimes give names to certain memorable lions. I think we can rule out calling this one The Master of Concealment. Maybe Captain Invisible?
Fortunately for him, lions are social and he won't have to rely solely on his personal hunting skills to survive.
