2 lions bump into a snake on the road and treat it cautiously. A lizard appears out of nowhere, distracting the lions from the retreating snake

Lions are a common sight in game reserves around southern Africa. That, however, does not mean it is something to take for grantedA cobra emerged into the road and squared up to the lions. Initially, we didn’t realize that the cobra had been hunting a lizard who was hidden from view in the shrub on the roadside.

The cobra, a formidable opponent, had to make a choice, sacrifice a meal or possibly become a meal.The snake chose the former option and darted into the safety of the bush. The lizard, having just had a brush with death, remained in the road as if it were challenging the mighty Kings of the Jungle. Faced with this bravado the lions treated this brave creature with what seemed like awe and respect. When in reality one swipe of a paw would have been the end of the little fellow
