- I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat animals who are.

    [The words of Groucho Marx.]

    The wildebeest was still alive when this photo was taken.
    The lion has every muscle tense and applying deadly pressure to the wildebeest's neck.
    She sees us, but will not be distracted from the task at hand.

    El ñu estaba vivo cuando tome esta foto.
    Todos los musculos de la leona estan tensos aplicando presion en el cuello del ñu.
    La leona nos ve, y sabe que la estamos viendo, pero no se distrae de su objetivo, que es aniquilar al ñu.
