Wild lions distrust and even hate humans, while they don't hesitate to chase cheetas and kill their cubs whenever possible or steal their prey. Remember the look that liones gave you when you came so close to her and her cubs. I'm happy to hear you're still alive. Lions must see us as some sort of canned meat but they don't know how to open it. Wonderfull pictures nevertheless. Regards, Cedric 2013/3/31 Bernard Quinn <bjq1 at mac.com> > A really nice series.
