Lion's roar
The udalt male lion roared the whole night and was found this morning before sunrise walking on the road.We noticed he was not far as we were following the tracks and they were fresh or new.As we stoped to listen, thunder like sound came right on front us and every one in the vehicle was quite for good seconds which was then followed by 'wow'!.The lion carried on walking and ended up crossing the channel to the other side.The scine was observed just as the sun was coming out.It was amazing to see this male lion crossing the water as early as six thirty in the morning.
