At least the Leopard could fight back.

That Python was likely the second course.

Sure shows who the Hyena should be afraid of.

The picture of the python was in a South African newspaper,apparently the Impala broke loose from the python,but then became the hyenas supper.
 
he has no clue...

They should use this photo for a motivator for new drivers to provide reasons to check your blind spot.
 
Glad i am not in that car with the guy having no clue, my guess is that the car needed a new fron seat and a whole lot of air freshner after he realised what was next to him. I am sure he had sï½£!t himself!
LOL

the photo gives you a very good idea of the height and size of a standing male lion . bigger than a lot of people realise......
 
I think he needs a bigger car. Something like a MAC truck would be more appropriate. At least kitty would then have a harder time eating you through the window.
 
yep, sometimes even an easy 'normal' hunt can go wrong!
man vs hog

you know you've got a good chance of something going wrong if you are at a place where you find this all on one sign....
