    The Lion and his vehicle body guards

    From my archives. Kruger National park. The lion on his way to meet his mate!! I was surprised at the casual manner in which the lion treated all the tourists following behind him. No comments necessary. Posted only for interest.

    Seems to be the norm Nathaniel.
    This Leopard was not bothered about the gathering crowd, in fact it went and lay down underneath one of the minibuses!! All you could see was the end of its tail wagging

      Two very interesting "behind the scenes" shots, thanks for posting them.
      Whenever I see an image of wild animal shot in Africa.
      I will always think of Doglet's image, and wonder where the white vans with tourists are parked up.

        Having seen the two photos, I wonder why wild animals are not scared of vehicles in their own territory. Any expert opinions?
