In the photo, we are camping next to a river in the Mara in Kenya. I had to go into the long grass with a shovel to dig out for a poop. Through the long grasses, I caught sight of a Lion not far from where I was. Very carefully and quietly, I retreated walking backwards to our camp. For whatever reason, the lion did not attack and stayed away. Maybe I wasn't seen or he was not downwind of my smell. When I mentioned it to one of the park rangers, he said there had been a kill and it was likely the lion had just finished eating and was full.
