Soft, innocent, balanced…. Are words that come top off mind when holding the king of the land in your arms? This experience is one that I will never forget. The raw energy that immerses from this animal demands respect from anyone that has been in contact. Lion’s eyes seem to speak to you when looking at them, but truly it is the roar of thunder from its belly that sets them aside from any other beast in the world. The heart of the beast beats so strongly through South Africa that when I reminisce I can still feel it.
