… but I had to post it 🙂
My first night back at Thanda and what do you think woke me up?
… Thanda’s dominant male Lion was roaring this morning and it sounded as if he was in front of my door. The sun had not risen yet, it was still quite dark. I got up and opened my front door to see the large male crossing the road outside the gate.
I had no camera in my room so I grabbed my iPad and took this (very marginal) image of the male disappearing into the grass. See if you can spot him.
A bad image, but what a wake-up call!

My guess would be down the fenceroll behind your car. Glad you had a safe trip home. Have a great one.
He was just welcoming you back. Thanks for a great presentation Friday.
Thanks for your comment Kerry – I am glad you enjoyed the presentation – it was great to be back in Nashville for a while and I hope to be back soon for another visit.
That is what I thought too – a greeting; “glad you are back”… But We do NOT anthropomorphize ever…
Thanks for your comment Karen – There are always exceptions to the rules 🙂 …….
Make that 3! No doubt he is happy to have you back. As much as you see him, he sees you, too. Actually, he probably sees you more often. I also enjoyed your presentation and all those new facts you shared with us. It’s easy to see that there is never a dull moment at Thanda.
Thanks for your comment Heidi – I am glad you enjoyed the presentation – it was great to be back in Nashville for a while and I hope to be back soon for another visit.
Having a wildlife opportunity without the camera usually means you have a rare chance to watch it unfold without having to record. Looks like it was great….
