the survey results, Lynda may look at including a few more

Torie Hilley didn't think
she'd be able to see any-
thing interesting through
the tall grass while on a
safari in Zambia. "Then this
pride of lions came walking
toward us," she says,
"taking advantage of the
road to travel on. They,
too, seemed they were
tired of the tall grass swat-
ting at their faces!"
