Lion Dreams
Up

 

 

The fierce  lioness silently stalks her prey at the water hole.

 

Patiently, she waits until just the right moment to spring on the victim.

 

The unwary prey is a tempting target for the hungry lioness, then...

 

Oops! The victim escapes again.

 

Here's the hungry lioness perched in a tree above the jungle trail.

 

Hey! aren't you Marlon Perkins? Where's Bill? I'm hungry.

 

 

 

 

If you don't recognize the name Marlon Perkins, he's the old fart who used to be the
star and narrator on "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom".  Marlon usually stayed inside
the land rover with the camera man narrating the action as the lion gnawed on Bill.
Marlon always seemed to have a partner named Bill, but I don't know if it was the
same guy every week. Maybe Mutual of Omaha had good medical coverage for
lion bites and rabies shots and getting run over by land rovers.
