And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've seen so many videos on YT of someone who helped raise a lion cub (or jaguar, leopard, tiger, you name it), then the person had to go someplace. The cub grows up and the human comes back. This is how they get greeted. Like a long lost friend, someone the cat has always known and always loved.
That the paw alone is the size of the man's head is noteworthy as well. Mother Nature reminding you of your place on the food chain, and it's not at the top.
I heard a dozen or so old circus lions all howling together once, from about 1/4 mile away. One starts, and it sets all the others off. Lion version of "Marco Polo", evidently, to locate the rest of the pride.
Even knowing they were securely housed inside separate iron-barred cages and enclosures, the sound is still more than enough to decalcify anyone's spinal cord, and make you involuntarily limber up, check out the surrounding crowd for the slowest sacrificial one(s), and make sure your car keys are near to hand.
I want to go back and record them with a good studio-quality recorder, so I can play it back out of loudspeakers around Castle Anthrax random times at about 3AM, at around 100dB. Just for giggles, and as a precaution.
The best home defense gunfights are the ones you never have, right?
That thing could eat ALL of ya at a single sitting.
ReplyDeleteChew on your spinkter like a piece of bubblegum, or worse, a rubberband.
Jeezum Crow! Thats one rugged lioness. She looks affectionate enough, must be pretty close friends.
ReplyDeleteJust one bite and his head is gone. Man I love Lions.
