A bristling wart-hog, disturbed, scampers away, followed by a herd of cotton-tailed impala. Hippopotamuses thrust their heads out of the stream ; the other animals must seek the water holes to drink. Finally, the dramatic moment when a stalking lion nears his prey. We hear a frightened bird call from a tree top, and see the instant response of the giraffes who dash away, followed by impala and zebra. The lion roars and the lingering wildebeests dart out of his path. Written by
