A Riveting Encounter with a Rare Black-Maned Lion | National Geographic

a lion gives you a different instinctive
fear that is unequal to anything else
they are quite rare you hear them more
often than you see them but just seeing
an adult male in the road in its full
glory was something I thought I would
never see and as we watched him smell
bushes and spray it with its urine it
became clear he was most likely
following a female ahead the lion kept
coming closer and I was hoping really
that he would be away at some point
because remember I am leaning out of the
car window and you can see me zoom out
with the lens but the lion is still
coming and coming and as I am watching
him he’s getting bigger you’re thinking
I really should be getting in the car
but the photographer side of me is
thinking this is a lifetime opportunity
just
they still
