A few weeks ago we were able to take a day when we were in Johannesburg and go out into the bush to another wild animal park.....
I know it looks like Jurassic Park right?

Just on the other side of the gate was this big Lion, the King of the Jungle. This guy wanted to eat the head of this Springbock. He was pacing back and forth trying to figure out how to get the meat.

In just a matter of minutes he dug his way under the fence and was able to get a claw on it. It was so neat. His growl still keeps me up at night!

He got hold of it but he couldn't figure out how to get it under the fence....

If you pull just hard enough....you get the prize!

Just down the road we were followed by a pack of wild dogs. They hunt in packs about twenty at a time will chase their prey down. They hunt at night. They will chase for hours at a time.

This was one of the most amazing things we have ever seen. We entered into another part of the park and were able to get close to the Cheetahs. There were three of them. The guide stopped the truck and said, watch the bushes over there. We waited for just a few minutes and out they came.

The dogs were close by.....

These guys came right up to us. We were about 10ft. from them. When this one walked by, he raised the hair on his back to let us know....don't mess with me!!

This one just watched....

After the guide gave them some horse meat, they just went over next to the tree and sat....probably looking for dessert....

The old bald guy.... I bet he dosen't run very fast.......

Naw......let's see what else we can find.....

It didn't take long to figure out where he was headed....

This one was the guard.....boy can they run fast.....

Look at those eyes.....

It was a neat day. We will post again soon.
