My favorite animal is a lion. The booming roar, the power, the King of the Jungle. I even like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. Young lions have to learn to hunt. They observe their mothers and learn the ways of survival in the world’s harshest environment.
A successful hunt starts with stalking the prey. Stalking (game prep) leads to identifying the weakest and meatiest members of the gnu heard. It is tedious and sets the stage for success. At the right moment, the lioness lurches from the tall grass and explodes with deathly vigor, attacking the target and with raw power destroys its victim.
