Food is scarce for most animals.
But, for me, Lion, King of the jungle, I the predator, can find food.
Zebras roam the open plains
Elephants drink from the water hole unaware of their surroundings.
Soon, they will be prey.
I am predator.
I pounce for the zebra as it tries to run.
But it gets no where.
The wonderful taste of flesh bounds in my jaws.
One dead, more to go.
Another smell triggers my taste buds and sends saliva running down my chin.
I follow my nose to the smell, and find a vulture hovering over a dead gazelle.
The fight for food is on as I leap for the carcass.
