WONDERFUL CAPTUREIt amazes me how open vehicles approach lions on some safari's in Africa. AND I'M NOT A SKITTISH PERSON.

Great capture Steve. I understand how you could feel her power. At a Wildlife park in Arizona, we went on a feeding day where they were given fresh meat. I could feel the ground move from their actions. I felt as though I was in Africa on their turf. Scary but cool #9952636Steve M. Harrington January 28, 2012
Thanks a lot, Bill, Jack and Gary! Although we were safely beyond a moat, her power was palpable. I have felt such power only one other time when 15 ft from a wild tiger while riding an elephant in India.Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna February 04, 2012
