Pyjamas, Sunrise, and Three Roars

At 4:30 this morning I woke up to an incredible loud Lion‘s roar, obviously just front of my home.

Not to miss the opportunity to record this incredible noise I grabbed my iPhone and rushed to my car as I was (in Pyjamas☺️).

And our dominant male delivered! I captured what I think is my best Lion roar sound recording since I came to Africa. The first 30 seconds of this video were recorded long before sunrise with the Lion hiding in high grass (I used a still picture of the morning sky with the video).

Once he got moving I followed him for the next two hours, recording two more roars. But none was as good as the first one in the dark.

‚Hearing cat‘s night noises in the front yard’ has a totally different meaning when you live in the bush. I love it!
