Wanted to share with you


It's what every tourists to the Kruger National Park hopes for - to see a pride of lion in all their majesty feeding on a fresh kill.

But for the tourists in this car, as heard by the loud shrieks and sounds of panic, this pride of over 10 lions came a little too close for comfort when they dragged their impala carcass to right beneath their car!

While visiting Kruger in August this year, Jade von Holdt witnessed a pride of lions chase down and kill an impala at Kumana Dam south of Satara rest camp. After the kill, Von Holdt began filming the action as the pride tucked into the impala.

And then things became heated... A tussle for possession of the carcass broke out between two of the lionesses, which drove the entire pride of lions (following the carcass) straight towards the Von Holdt’s vehicle.

"We were unable to move as the lions were literally up against the car with some cubs even under our car,“ von Holdt wrote on the KNP - Best Place on Earth Facebook group.

The lions cleared up the small impala meal in a flash, and moved away from the Von Holdt family vehicle fairly soon after.

It looks like the windows of the car are down. Didn't one of these encounters in the recent past have a cat go into the car?
Looks like it would be easy to grab a camera or arm.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc
