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.
..a female lion tried to attack me, luckily…. While I was walking I made a loud noise. Then I heard a terrible roar..
….the wardens fired their guns and the lioness fell asleep
….…looking back on it, I think I was very lucky!!!
