Beautiful animal! Do they hunt on their own or are they supplied with food there?

He knows he's the king. I can't recall if your truck has a fenced cage or you are beyond brave. Good one.

@cdcook48 Instead of going to Palm Springs Chris, you could always come to Africa ;-)

@kjarn It looks closer than it is Kathy ;-)

@rosiekind How fabulous Rosie, one of the best places to be in the wild :-)

@mccarth1 As they are behind these high electrical fences I suppose they get fed Kerry ;-)

@jerzyfotos Lol no fenced cage but very comfortable seats quite high up ;-)

@bluemoon No Paula, he could not be bothered ;-)

[4rky]

[Bobbi C]

The king! I would so love to go on a safari like this!

[Jo Worboys]

What a great opportunity and great picture

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Being from the United States, it seems other-worldly, even though we know that's how it is, having all the animals we are used to seeing caged up or in restricted areas, running free. Nice capture.

[Valerie Chesney]

He is magnificent...

[Steve Chappell]

Well if I had those teeth and claws I wouldn't be bothered either, lol. Great capture

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Handsome man!
