I punched a cheetah in South Africa

bastard had short changed me on some billtong

I'd not seen that before. Good link!

Im thinking of making a trip up that way in August, will check it out. Went to a great place before near rustenburg, my first trip here and it felt like proper Africa, sat in with the lion cubs and fed them a bottle of milk. Must find out the name as I'd love to go back.

Also baboons, cocky fuckers but you do not mess with them. Was braaiing in tokai last week and one showed up and stole right from the braai.

I know this is kak funny but a pic I saw a few days showed her neck bleeding quite badly.
At least she came out ok and is none the worse for her big kitty encounter.

Trog

When the wife and I were living in Port Elizabeth, I took her to the Seaview Lion Park.

We had a bit of a play with the lion cubs and right at the end one of them gave her a bit of a scratch on the leg. Nothing serious, but it ended up going a bit red so I had to take her to the local pharmacy.

She took great delight in explaining to the pharmacist that she was attacked by a lion.

Here's a photo of the husband..

In my youff, I got chased by a bull on my grandads farm in Zim...just made it over the fence.
Also got chased by a bush pig...scary aggressive little fcukers

I got chased around in circles by some angry warthogs at Hwange when I was a kid, much to the amusement of my friends and family. It was like something out of a Laural & Hardy sketch, my parents never let me forget it.

Little bit of both really. I have the "bait" (wife) - probably been married longer than this guy. Plus I have semi-decent photography equipment - also probably better than this guy's.

Have a look - the people with really shitty photographic equipment, and no photography experience, are the ones blessed with the best photographic opportunities in Africa. The Tale of the Kruger Park (lions vs buffalo vs croc) was shot on an el-cheapo video camera.

Hell even my own 15-minutes-of-fame photo (croc vs elephant) I got when I was just starting doing photography. Do you know how many hours I've sat at hides, with a 200-400 f/4 lens, once even with a 500 f/4 lens...camera that can do 8 frames per second....5 years of photography experience....and nada, nothing fuck-all. Apart from two zebras coming to drink water. Or a Waterbuck.

Back in 2008 I barely sat down with my old camera (Nikon D80) with the REALLY shitty Sigma 70-300 lens at the hide in the Kruger Park and next thing I got the photo of a lifetime.



And NEVER had a leopard sighting. Or cheetah. Lions yes, but not one single good photo opp. Yet there are people who have photographed leopards with a friggin' cellphone.

While his cloned sister was playing silly-buggers with a cheetah, the real thing was looking distinctly not amused when he visited an amusement park. Great to see he has three note-takers, taking no chances there
