WHO IS THE KING OF BEASTS? - February 27, 2013 (volovecto)
"Who reigns supreme in the jungle or, in this case, the Savanna Game Reserve?"

"We were the third group to come upon three large male lions napping in the afternoon, and it turns out we were in the right place at the right time. A fourth kingly male lion was sleeping alone, not faraway from the trio in tall grasses.  We drove over to  him when we saw the lone lion raise his head. Any activity on the  part of a male big cat is a photographic opportunity not to be missed."

"While those photos were being taken, we noticed a large bull elephant striding through the tall grasses with a land rover full of guests in careful pursuit"

[...]

"The elephant made a beeline for the solitary lion but ran past him when he noticed the three other brother lions being lazy and napping without so much as a stir. Then, in what we all believe was a premeditated act, the bull pivoted after running  behind the same tree that was providing shade for the nonchalant brother cats. The riled up pachyderm defiantly shook the tree with his trunk"

"The violent shaking scared at least half dozen lives out of the supposedly Kings of the bush.  The male lions leaped out of their sleep and took off at a frenzied pace right past us and were quickly out of sight.  We couldn’t find them the rest of the afternoon."
