Describe a time when you were really close to a wild animal

  • Where you saw it
  • What it likes to eat or do
  • Why you like it

Sample Answer:

Well, I would like to share my experience when I was in awe because of the wild animal, and it was a lion. The way it looked into my eyes, I was entirely scared. Luckily, I was in a jeep. It was a strong lion with powerful forelegs, teeth, and jaws for pulling down and killing prey, and the coat was of yellow-gold color. 

I saw it at a park in South Africa, and I went there with my family. We stay at a guest house in a town named Broederstroom. After taking a good sleep at the guest house, we went to Lion & Safari Park.

Lions are carnivores that mean they are such creatures that only eat meat, and so was it. Some of the types of prey they catch include birds, rabbits, turtles, mice, lizards, wild boars, wild dogs, buffaloes, crocodiles, and even baby elephants. Our tourist guide told me that some lions can attack tall giraffes also. I was wholly speechless to know the fact.

I like it because I saw it for the first time in reality. Earlier, I just saw lions on National Geographics and Discovery channel. The lion gave me a chance to capture it in a way that any wildlife photographer would love it.
