An unexpected surprise for tourists in the African savannah was the appearance of a guest – a lion came to the picnic table and, as if nothing had happened, tried to have breakfast with what God sent. The photographer managed to take unique and funny shots with the king of beasts.
In South Africa, a lion came to a picnic for visitors to the National Park. The king of animals was obviously interested in the smell of jerky and other deli meats. Not embarrassed by the presence of people, to whose sight, apparently, he was accustomed, the beast approached the table in a businesslike way.
However, the tourists did not offer drinks to the guest and inhospitably hid in the cars. And without waiting for the meal, the lion left.
We smile as we look at photos of this picnic taken by photographer Chris Taylor. It seems that the lion is at a loss and as if asking a dumb question: “Where did everyone run away?” But this is the case when it is worth forgetting about a good upbringing and taking care of the basic need – safety.
Quite often in our environment there are also people attracted by the opportunity to satisfy their own appetite at our expense. Well, good news: we, like lions, are children of nature and are still deeply connected with it. And while the hands remove the cap from the lens, and the brain counts the number of likes for a unique photo, the legs carry us to the shelter. Thanks to the instinct of self-preservation, fortunately, tourists did not become an appetizer at their own picnic. And thanks to his own curiosity, the lion, kindly posing between buckets of wine, has become a real hero of social networks.
