Vredenheim

This afternoon, Catherine and Tracy went to Vredenheim where they saw several large cats. Before watching a feeding, they ate a snack at the on-site restaurant and had some time for goofing around.

Catherine’s scary prey experience

I was running around in the open grassy field next to, but outside of, the lion cage. There was one white female lion and two brown lions: one female and the other male. They all had their eyes on me, but the white lion had the closest eye on me. She was on top of a stone concrete structure, and she stared at me. Then, as she watched me continue running around, she sat up. Then, I continued running (to see what the lion would do next) and the lion had enough! She jumped down and ran towards me until she was stopped by her cage. I was scared and ran out of the lion area. Mom told me that the lion was still looking for me after I left.
