After the lions casually walked past our vehicle, they sensed something near the water. A bushpig burst out of his hiding place and ran for his life while the lions chased their afternoon snack. Would they catch him? Around our vehicle the pig zigged, then zagged, and finally sprinted to safety in the tall grass. The lions, having eaten that morning, ended the hunt. The pig would live to see another day.
