Awesome pics man! We're you on safari or is that your back yard? I'll have to show my wife the first pic - maybe it'll give her some ideas.:D

This was on my way to see a client, just outside of a small town. the lions were about 4ks from the leopard. Saw some hyena too. Waiting for the droppings off the leopard kill.

Totally awesome, although I'm afraid Jules would try to adopt one as a new Kitten...

She sounds tough, we normally give a wide berth. Believe me, they aint no puddy tats. In 1999 we had 5 Koreans come over and they got out of their car and posed for pictures in front of the Lions. When the rangers got there they thought it was agroup of 20.

Jules? She has to be to live with me, I'm not always the easiest guy to live with especially over the last year or so.

Where she used to work would get keepers visiting from a local zoo bringing in very young cubs, young but still bigger than a house cat, its probably the only thing she misses about that job.

It seems every few years there is a keeper mauled over here, over whelmingly the Big Cat was just playing without realising that Human Beings are too fragile to cope.

I hear you about them not being house cats though. How's it go? "Its not nice to fool with Mother Nature"
