Royal Bengal Tiger
Another fantastic sight at the Muda Wanga zoo in Lusaka was a full-size Royal Bengal tiger feeding. What they did was put a chunk of meat on top of a small platform which had some kind of a gangplank leading up to it. The tiger reacher the platform, picked up the meat & then jumped down (to collective applause from the onlookers!). The performance completed, it then slunk off towards a grove to enjoy its meal in peace.
My tryst with the African lion
My trip to Zambia came off well. The high point was when we wen to the Munda Wanga zoo and botanical garden in Lusaka. Fortunately, when we reached there it was the feeding time for the big animals. So we could catch a good sight of a pride of lions - a mother and her five children including the dominant male (pictured here), another (castrated!) male and five females.
