<b>At the Mercy of Mother Nature</b> - As we were getting ready to leave the Serengeti, we spotted the largest lion we had seen on our journey; however, he was fast asleep. He was curled up into a ball and facing away from our vehicle. We waited a good 20 minutes, hoping he would wake. It took Mother Nature and a wind storm to disturb this majestic creature. He awoke quite perturbed and when the wind died down, he went right back to his cat nap. Largest Lion, Wild Tiger, Pet Advice, R Dogs, Progress Pictures, Windy Day, Serengeti, Cat Nap
