RE: Africa slide show
 
Zach,

There is one photo in the slide show that show several men standing outside a "stick" fortress of sorts. That is where the cattleare brought into every night. The cattle tenders sleep inside there with the cows. In that photo, we are asking for information from the bushmen about four rogue lions. The lions had been killing 3-4 cows every two to three days. Relief was needed and theRupublic of Namibia granted us the opportunity tocull the problem.These lions had totally lost all fear for humans. Two days prior to the snapping of that photograph, the lions had killed two bushmen, a cow, and the cow's two calves. An old 303 british rifle was found with a spent shell lodged in the chamber. Obviously the bushmen tried to defend themselves. Their bodies were never recovered. I am sure the hyenas ate well. We finally caught up with two of the four lions and killed them. That was as close to a real "Tarzan" typesafari as I have ever come. We slept in fly tents in the middle of Africa's wild. I could hear the lions roaring throughout the night. At one point, while I was lying alone in my tent, I heard the sniffing of something just outside and directly over my head. I prayed to God enormously that night! In the morning, The trackers showed me where a jackal had lifted his leg on the corner of my abode.

In Africa, everything either sticks you, sucks you, or plucks you! The country was simply designed to absorb protein. You are definitely one with the food chain there...

Leopard and cheetah Adam. A leopard has rosetta spots and a cheetah has round spots. Did you know a cheetah cannot retract its claws like most cats?
