I live right next to a similar 'zoo' that is thousands of square miles.
An African lion (or a lion of any sort), can in no way be compared to a camel. Especially a lion on a kill.
And it was a night hunt - Have you ever tried to identify a particular animal in the night? And do you have the balls to go up against even a cougar with nothing but bow? Howabout a full grown African Lion?
Have you ever tracked a wounded animal, not to mention an apex predator?
Yes he was in so much danger in the Land Rover. Very brave.
