Gabi and The Lions
By Lothar. Filed in South Africa |
Today was one of the highlights of our self-guided Kruger Park safari. We found one male and one female lion trying to rest in the shade on the side of the dirt road. The temperature was hovering around 102 Degrees F and the big cats were panting, exposing their beautiful teeths ( called fangs I believe). I positioned our rental car within 10 feet from the lions and asked Gabi to open her window to take pictures. ( I was sitting on the side away from the lions, but reassured my wife, that I was right behind her!) We are here to talk about it and spent about 30 minutes parked next to the great cats.
At one point Mister Lion got up and tried to wake up his wife(?). She was very grouchy and scared the suitor and us with her roar of refusal. Gabi’s comment: Even for lions it is too hot for sex.
