I have posted these photos a while back before, but thought of posting them again for the benefit of those who have had not seen them.

Lotta tight sphincters in that photo.

Great action though.

So that's where the "spring" in springbok comes from

Now that is stick in your throat action...


Thanks again Saeed...

This why you run "through" the tackle. Never dance with a running back. I've seen linebackers with the same look on their face as that lion after "wiffing" on Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith. Those that know something of American football will know what I am talking about.

Only 2.5 more months until the Dallas Cowboys start wupping @ss again . I am a hopeless FANatic, what can I say, "Dandy" Don Meredith was born and raised in the same town as my mother. I bleed Blue and Silver.

That second shot is incredible!

Did you happen to take the shots Saeed?

I love the last photo! It's as if the lioness herself is perplexed as to how exactly she managed to miss.

Best,

Great shots, did you take them, do you have others?

Nice photos. Were these taken at the waterhole at Okaukuejo in Etosha Park in Namibia. The reason I ask is I took a series of very similar photos when I was stationed in Namibia with the U.N. in 1989. The background is almost identical. I would post a copy of them, but I have no idea how to. The lioness got the springbok in mine, however, the male took over after the kill.

Okay, I did a search and found instructions on posting photos. Here goes.

Obviously that didn't work.

Okay, I will try again

I wish I were smarter....any idea what I am doing wrong?

Go back and edit the links in the message by removing the .thumb from each one so each link end with .jpg -TONY

Thank you very much. That seems to be working now. I guess my next question is, how you put more than one picture on the post. Everytime I go back to copy the address I have to start over again because the AR site closes. (One of these days I might figure out how to use this computer).

I have got to try this again. Here are a couple of more from the same sequence.

Your photos didn't show up here until after I tried to post the links myself. Now what is up with that? Cool pics.

No sir I did not.

Thye are from a book I had here - seems to have developed legs and walked away!

I am going to start a "lending" list, and fine those who don't bring my books back on time.

They are taken in Namibia.

Absolutely incredible. Must have taken a quick fingered photographer or a high speed camera to get that sequence.
Come to think of it Namibia would be a good place for these pictures with concentrations of game around waterholes...
How is Etosha, do they make you sleep behind fences like in Kruger??

Mom must have been a VERY mad cat...

Well, dude, you guys have the Big Tuna down there as the head coach. You guys might go somewhere within the next year or two. All we've got is Al Davis and Norv Turner, no way we're going anywheres anytime soon.

Saeed, you seem to come up with all kinds of interesting pics. Keep it up and thanks.

Are you SURE that's a miss? It could be a nuetering...

the third pic should be entitled
