They have a very low growl that goes with it that sends cold shivers through your spine! aufgehts - Aug, 10 2008 10:08pm Wonderful and frightening! I hope you took this with a looooong zoom!! mortimer - Aug, 11 2008 02:08am Jill, Thanks for your comment. No long zoom, no fence, nothing at all. I took this with my analog slr, with the short standard zoom 18-55mm. And I was standing on the ground, face to face with the animal. Frightening? Sure I was frightend and felt very small.
