I see and hear things like this on TV when watching some programs and it is so distressing even though I know that is how it is. Great picture and Haiku describing it. Congratulations on this winner. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara K

Vivid imagery, Tom! I know lions have to eat, but I'm siding with the calf! Hope the bull will save it! Regards // paul

Thank you Paul, I'm happy to tell you the calf was saved this time, they say buffalo cause more injuries to humans than lions, Wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of one. Tom.

Tom, congratulations on your win in my contest. Oh the reality of nature is harsh to accept, especially for an animal lover but it happens, this is life, great poem ~

Thank you Dear Heart, I too love animals and wildlife programs and I know even predator's have to eat but love to see the prey get away. Tom.
