Can say you hand fed Lions on Sunday...?
What can I say... I have a new found respect for these awesome animals.
The power and size of them is simply eye opening.
I was all confident going into the cage, but when they opened their mouths and growled at us I was fast put back down into my place in the food chain.
Absolutely amazing! The size of their heads alone is a sight to be seen.

Then we got to play with Dingos in their inclosure.
Thanks very much to Dave for giving myself and Anja the chance to experience it.
Given the chance I would be back in a flash!

I have had one roaring at me on the African plains from about 20m away. It was very scary, in fact is probably one of the scariest things I have done!

Anyone who knows me, knows how tall I am. You can see how tall they are when on their back legs... Not exactly a small kitty cat :)

Used to work with the cats for 4 yrs while the lion safari was running in paraparaumu and yep, though i'd dissagree and say them cats are more dangerous than a wife, at least you knew that if ya turned ya back on them, they were gonna rip you to shreds ! Not like a woman where you just don't know when it's coming !

I've been stalked, chased and attacked by a full grown male lion and lived to tell the tale cause I am just awesomely 'ard...... OK, I was in a mini van at the time, in a Safari park in England but even so it was like a 30k shunt in a road traffic accident, awesome power and weight. I got myself a lovely big gouge down the flank of the van as well.

I thought about getting out and giving him a piece of Martybabe road rage but just between you and me, he scared me shitless so I just bared my arse at him when we'd left the compound, I think he got the message, big fury coont!

Nice pix Sparky, even the little b'stards scare me.
