Know your prey. You know, I’m fascinated how the animal kingdom works.  Take the African Serengeti for example.  I was watching a youtube clip of a pack of lions in the process of hunting the other day.  The lioness will break into teams.  One team starts at one end of the heard, while the others wait in ambush.  Then as if on cue, they’ll chase the gazelle right into the lions waiting in ambush.  They’ll single out the young or sick gazelles for an easy target.  Then as soon as the hunt begins,…Read more …
