But you find yourself in Africa, 100 degree heat, I'm assuming in South Africa, coming up against a full grown 210 pound leopard with his 20 or 30 sneaky leopard friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10. And guess what, now I've wandered into the school of leopards and they now have a taste of Sorter. They've talked to themselves. They've communicated and said 'You know what, Sorter tastes good, let's go get some more Sorter'. They've developed a system to establish a beach-head and aggressively hunt Sorter and his family back in the states and they will corner my pride, my children, my offspring.

Their is a great story about the African Cross Continental railroad & man eating lions that would drag members of the track gang out of their tents at night & devour them just yards away from camp.
