All that is missing from this experience is being able to hear her breathing.  She was so close to the glass, and I wished I could reach through it to scratch behind her ears.

While I was there a group of school students came through.  Two of the boys stopped to talk for a minute about what would likely happen if any one of us went into the exhibit.  (Of course, there would be no way any visitor could actually get into the exhibit - we were just wondering how she would react if we could and did, which they wouldn't, and I wouldn't, even if we could ...)

This lioness, the one my son always called "Pointy Head", looks so gentle, it seems hard to believe that she would try to harm us.  But we all agreed she probably would.
