The Lion Burps Tonight

There's a plain-as-day out quote in today's WSJ by Dereck Joubert who spends time in Africa with his wife Beverly making movies about lions. The reporter Ralph Gardner, Jr. reports that the Jouberts have never been attacked by lions, and only once by a thirsty elephant who tried to steal their water.

They are not, however, totally nonchalant about their surroundings when they are tented in the wild. Dereck explains, "We don't walk around at night. It's like not going to certain areas of the city after dark." He further adds the kicker: "So many accidents happen when guys have a few beers and wander off and get eaten."

From a lion's point of view, this might spark debate. "Tastes great." "Less filling."
