Eric Ubisi, a safari ranger at Manyeleti Game Reserve in
Tintswalo, South Africa was seated on his jeep relaxing the afternoon
sun when he got an almighty fright. A lion taking a stroll happened upon
him as he sat unarmed and exposed. For the briefest of moments, man and
beast locked eyes and Eric sat perfectly still, one wrong move and he
may have been lunch.
Despite the terrifying encounter, Eric who was with fellow
rangers David Jacobs and Anton van Loggerenberg later claimed he knew he
was in no real danger.
He said: 'I enjoyed it and knew the lion was going to walk past without harming me. I knew the lion was relaxed and I have been watching him every day since he was a cub and know his behaviour.
'They are our resident pride.'
The Tintswalo Safari Lodge said it adheres to the strictest
safety measures and precautions, and the highly experienced staff knew
that in this position, the best thing to do was to stay still.
One of his colleagues managed to capture the moment
perfectly, and David said: 'We were out on a game drive with our guest
when we spotted three young male lions on buffalo planes. We positioned our vehicle in a way that offered our guest
optimal viewing, when the lions all stood up and approached the vehicle.
'One lay down behind the vehicle and the other one moved
towards the front and briefly stopped and looked at Eric, so I was
unable to back away.'
'I asked Eric if he was comfortable and he said he was fine. I observed no aggressive behaviour from the lions. It was a very brief encounter and after a few minutes, the lion walked off and lay down about ten metres away.'
na lie joor

ReplyDeleteThe following conversation ensued between the lion and the safari ranger.
ReplyDeleteSafari ranger: Dear God, I am very sorry for all the sins I have committed. If you give me this one last chance, I promise to serve you with all my heart.
Lion: Let me look at the face of my food before killing him. If you move an inch, you are dead!
Safari ranger: Oh! I am dead
Let me guess, the lion just finished eating a delicious meal few min ago, or her team no dey with her. so she know they she will be gunned down if she makes any attempt, na d lion wise pass.
ReplyDeletethat's what bravery n professionalism is all about, but i wont dare try it; cos anytin can happen.
ReplyDelete@ that moment all my sins come to my mind and am confessing them all before the lion decides on what to do with me
ReplyDeleteHe must have a lion guard on
ReplyDeletePsalm 91 (verse 13) at work.
ReplyDeleteTo God be the glory. He didn't want you back on that day. Don't take such foolish risks again. Even well-trained dogs sometimes turn on their owners, let alone a lion to whom a human being means food. A word is enough for the wise.
ReplyDeletewowu... well d lion just ate

ReplyDeleteHey! Guys do know that you can make massive use of this DOLLAR to NAIRA increment as an opportunity to turn your life around and live the DOLLAR lifestyle here in NAIJA?...Now, listen, instead of going MAD about the DOLLAR not being in good terms with our NAIRA, why
not think of earning the DOLLAR BILL to your side and when converting you see that you are earning more in NAIRA why living here in NAIJA and also PRAYING that the DOLLAR keep increasing so that when you earn and convert... You be BIG BOY or FLY GIRL...
While others are getting MAD about the DOLLAR increment, you no send their whaling.
Anyway, I got a job for anyone interested...the PAY is CLEAN...all you need to do is play by the rules and you'll make your pay in DOLLARS...Remember, Obedience is better than sacrifices. Click here for more info..
