A frightening incident !
…..Well, it all happened the year
before I went to university..
I was working in Africa with a
group of game wardens, who
look after the animals in one of
the big national parks in Kenia
I was with two wardens, and we were looking
for a baby lion which was ill…..
The wardens had special guns which
fire anaesthetic bullets.
We left the Range Rover and set off on
foot…and after a while…..
..we came to a watering hole, where the lions
were having a drink. There we saw the baby
lion which was ill.
While I was walking I made a loud noise.
Then I heard a terrible roar..
..a female lion tried to attack me , luckily….
….the wardens fired their guns
and the lioness fell asleep
….…looking back on it,
I think I was very lucky!!!
