It is beautiful a lioness emerging from the tall grass, isn't it ?
From the photo famous author: " Emerging from the grass; suddenly a visible predator, where there was nothing before. She knows well that her honeyed fur blends perfectly with these dried stalks.

Beverly Joubert: " Narrowed eyes focusing on a nearby lechwe. Duba Plains’ lions are lucky to have a wealth of antelope on their island, but they need to contend with a great deal of water when they hunt, while lechwe are so well adapted to the swamps. But these lions are becoming highly efficient at running in deep water and their odds in the chase are increasing all the time... ".
