Any wiser? Well, I must say that the fear of lions is still in me. That should be enough to keep me wary of all predators going forward.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑13 Apr 2018, 18:54Apparently, the caretaker didn't take care. And you, daring photographer, are something else. I wonder if you would have enjoyed your pictures had you been mauled by that angry lioness. I'm glad you escaped unscathed. And wiser?Zain A Blade wrote: ↑12 Apr 2018, 11:24 Oooh, yours was one frightening experience. I can relate because a lion almost mauled me at a zoo in Nigeria. I was young and fearless (or just crazy), I breached their safety protocol and decided to cross the metal bars to get a close up shot of a lioness. The only thing between me and the lioness was a flimsy wired fence. The shock of my camera's flashlights irritated the lioness and she came at me, lurching at the fence that separated us. All of a sudden it occurred to me that to a lion I am nothing but prey. I ran as fast as I could to the exit, because I knew without doubt that another lurch at the fence will completely bring it down. If the wired fence had given way before I got out, I would have made headline news that day as he second person mauled by a lion in that same zoo. The first one was a caretaker who forgot to lock the gate to the lion's den while feeding them.

But if we're talking about actually encountering animals in the wild, most of my experiences have been during snorkling or scuba diving! I've encountered turtles, barracudas, and a wide variety of other really cool fish.
