Popis: | Lions.—One day I found a pride of fifteen lions gathered round the putrid remains of a hippo cow, lying in shallow water at the edge of a wide sand bank. Dozens of crocodiles, attracted by the tainted air and water, lay basking on the sand, the nearest within twenty yards of the lions. The animals were so engrossed in their affairs, two old males growling and snarling at one another across the carcase, that I was able to stalk them over the bare sand and approach sufficiently closely to photograph them, though not so near as to anything like fill my viewfinder. |
