Parental Guidance Suggested

The lion will not sleep tonight

(Dana) On a game drive, as much as we are happy with the small sights, a new behavior for a previously seen animal or a stunning landscape, nothing beats witnessing something rare or extraordinary. Observing lions mating from 10 feet away with no humans within a mile is definitely in this category. Our guide Jacob first spotted the lions and announced them as a “mating pair.” We quickly determined why he said that. Apparently, the actual process is standard — when she is ready, the lioness lies down in front of the lion; the entire event is over in less than one minute. Between that natural experience and the obvious anatomy of elephants, Africa easily beats “the movie” for our Chickering fifth graders.
