South Africa - Lion Sands - Lions

Lions are like big huge housecats. Super lazy, lay around all the time and eat. I think the big difference is that a lion can kill you super easy (if he just wasn't so sleepy), but a housecat has a much tougher time of it. The housecat would need to position itself just exactly right over your sleeping face, or step in front of you at just the right time so you trip and fall out a tall window.
Landon had no concern of driving right up next to a feeding lion. It wasn't even because he had a huge elephant gun right in front of him on the dash, as he barely even had the case unzipped. It might have been because this dude Eddie sits on a little chair bolted to the front of the car, and Eddie would clearly be the first one eaten, giving Landon more than enough time to carefully back the Land Rover out of any danger.
According to the story told, the big dead hippo was killed in a hippo e hippo fight, and the lions just ate the loser as a meal of opportunity.















This lion was having a tough time chewing through the thick hide of the hippo, so he had the brilliant idea to get to the juicy center through the butthole.
