#11 was a pretty dramatic photo, but I like #22 also for its macabre 
ominousness. Every last lion sizing up the tusker while casually lapping 
water. 

Wonderful black humor. Reminds me of a Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon, many 
of which anthropomorphize animals, elephants being favorite characters and 
predation a popular topic. The animals often have working-guy and 
suburban-housewife names.

Shall we have a caption-writing contest? 
"Murray, you circle around around to the left, Blanche goes right, and the 
rest of us just keep eye contact with the big guy..."
