      In a deadly display of raw African power this lion encircles the helpless Elephant and launches its ambush.... The Elephant stands no chance.....
      ..... ok ok sorry wrong story...
      The lion was sleeping peacefully when the Elephant happened to walk by. He got the fright of his life when he woke up and ran with his tail between his legs.

      Funny it doesn't sound as good... Makes me wish I was a Nat Geo or Animal Planet story writer.

      Etosha at her best....!

      Not only the action is beautiful, but the environment too, I really like this.
      Don't feel it is tilting...
