African Lion, Impala – The Tension was TautThe Tension was Taut
During our recent trip to Africa, we found ourselves on a morning ‘walking safari’, trekking through a Zimbabwean woodland. As our path approached an open space in the sylvan landscape, a lioness resting in the forest’s cooling shade suddenly stood up and began moving almost parallel to our course. That, needless to say, was exciting even though she gave us no heed!
When the she-cat inadvertently ambled into and surprised a small band of Impala, it looked as though ‘all hell’ was about to break loose. The tension was taut but ephemeral. Instead of creating mayhem, the lioness simply sauntered by the wary antelope.
