Description

A small population of desert lions in Namibia have become the only maritime lions in the world. They've moved to the country's Atlantic coast in search of food, as climate change and extreme weather force a shift in their hunting patterns. Griet Van Malderen is a wildlife photographer who has spent years following the pride. She spoke with The World's Host Carolyn Beeler about what she's seen.
