Our Fifteen Minutes with the Lions (in
Pictures)
   We were so excited to see lions as we rounded a bend and began an uphill bit of the
road. Two females we thought until we caught sight of
a young male at the head of the column. Unsure if
this was it, we made do with pictures through the windshield and then side
window.
 We were three cars back and saw
little until, by chance one of the girls decided to
explore a rough turn off to find some shade. Then we managed to get alongside
the action. One girl went to lie down, one further in the bush but the young
male lay down in the track itself. Amazing camouflage. Deepest, loudest roar
that be heard for five miles. So much has been written about The King of the
Jungle – but – they don’t actually live in the jungle preferring bushland but
they are just as happy living in the desert of Namibia. The boys can eat fifteen
percent of their bodyweight at one sitting and actually go into a food coma. The
girls do all the hunting and live as sisters their whole lives. Babies are born
with blue eyes and grow to be the second largest cat after the tiger. Enough of
that.......how many pictures could I take.......lots and I have added Trevor’s
brilliant yawn picture seen next. My yawn picture later.
                  ALL IN ALL A
JOY
REALLY
