I am sharing one more video from Vandalur Zoo, Chennai. This one is about the majestic big cat. Lions and tigers compete for the title of being the most majestic. I like tigers better than lions. But the king of the jungle is not named so without a reason. While a single tiger itself can frighten. The lions get their strength from moving in large groups. Lionesses play a major part in hunting while the male is usually lazy playing the role of the protector. When it matters most for the group, the male lion would charge from the front.
That said, these are just lion and lioness kept in captivity in a zoo in South India. The good thing about this zoo is the liberal space given to animals. This may not still match their natural habitats, but it is better than being locked up in narrow confinements. Apart from watching the big cats from a distance, one gets closer by taking the lion’s safari. The caged vehicles take one to a confined area resembling a jungle where lions roam freely. As of now, the safari is offered during daytime only, and I hope they start they offer the night safari soon.
night safari? sounds dangerous
It would be great to see lions as your picture shows
Thank you Halcombe for your wonderful comments.
lovely picture, always love seeing animals in as close to their native environments as possible!
That would always be the best thing to do.
it is very important! Thanks for sharing this!
This must be a great adventure. I’ve never been on a safari.
This would not feel like an adventure as it is just a zoo. I guess a safari inside a jungle would be more thrilling.
I’m sorry, I was a little confused. But even walking in a zoo can be really interesting.
Yes Vidocka. You are right.
Visiting Safari Garden is always fun, but sometimes it can raise tension too…
This is not a safari on a jungle but inside a zoo. So no major worries.
Yes, Mohan. I have watched the video, I just remember the experience when we visited Safari Garden where people watched animals in their vehicles, through the area by area, and when entering the lion area, a lion jumped to the top of the car…
That is a bit scary. Hope it caused no damage.
What is certain is the car is dented and scratched even though not scream like peoples in it.
The dents on the car left by a lion is actually a good thing to have. More like a trophy. 🙂
Hahayy… or, they must be thinking hard to decide whether the car will be used as an inscription or remain as a vehicle, which means it must be repaired…
I love going on safaris. Watching the big cats is one of those amazing experiences for me.
Same here. Big cats are always a pretty sight.
