Francie
Lubbe of South Africa awoke one morning during her safari trip to an impressive
sight. Two female lions were licking (舔) the
outside of her tent!The lions were licking small drops
of water left over from a rain storm.
Lubbe
quickly began taking video of the wild animals. She posted the video on
Facebook this week. People from around the world commented about how calm she
and her friend in the tent remained when they saw the lions so close. People
were also impressed that they decided to take a video.
Lubbe
was camping in a tent at a national park on the northern border of South Africa
near Botswana. The lions are the most famous creatures in the national park.
They are called Kalahari lions. They get their name for their home-the Kalahari
Desert. It covers parts of South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Female Kalahari
lions weigh about 150 kilograms.
Lubbe
responded to the many comments about her video. She called the experience "very
special", She said the cloth door of her tent was open, but the lions did
not enter.
Along
with the 36-second video, she posted photos to her Facebook page of the lions
exploring her camp. There are images of the lions looking into the tent from
outside, and looking at a barbecue grill where campers cook.
People
around the world reacted to the video on Facebook.
A
netizen named Miller, wrote: "Shocking experience, but I think I would have
wetted myself!"
Facebook
user Mariana, said that her mother saw the lion video. Her mother then warmed
her to not go camping anymore, even though New Jersey is very, very far away
from the Kalahari Desert.
