Sixty pounds? Good eating size. Yummy tasty.

I dunno. Me, I alrady have a skin draped over my couch, so I'd probably go for the camera. At some point, the lion will wander off, or I'd go bang on the door if I had some errand to do.

For all the lion-attack stories we read about, they're usually in areas where lions are protected or when people put themselves into a prey position.

Children are at risk; they're the right size. A person sitting or bending over makes of himself a prey-like target. (I don't have a clue about the guy on the bicycle, out in California, as to how that came about. But "protected" means "no fear".)

My "playground" has been in lion country since 1972, and I've lived here in lion country since 1983. I see tracks around quite regularly, and have seen a couple of lions. The only problems have been up in the national park, and there have been but three or four problem events in some 30+ years.

Lions are not something I worry about...
