According to the daily mail of July 2nd, a lazy lion suddenly realizes that an elephant behind him is stepping up his legs when he is drinking water near a puddle in Botswana, Africa. This scene happened to be captured by a South African photographer.
In the photo, the thirsty lion is eager to drink water at the edge of the puddle, unaware of the elephant slowly approaching him behind him. Just as the elephant raised its forelegs to trample, the lion raised its head and escaped successfully. The photographer who took this picture said that it was late afternoon, and only this male lion was drinking water by the water pit. He did not look up for a long time after he started drinking water, until the elephant was only two or three meters away from him.
This is a lucky escape for the lion!
