I waited for a while to camouflage my identity. I was planning my attack strategy. She is before me. I want to startle her. My best strategy is the surprise attack which in most cases pays off. I signaled to create a perimeter .I was too enthusiastic to pounce on her but I was still like a rock watching her and waiting.
I waited and waited for the opportune moment. But that moment never arrived. I am not the doyen of the coalition ,yet I roared “Allez” . She was alarmed .We hustled towards her, before it was too late. She took a big leap and I ran after her to bring her down. She ran for her life, me to pacify my hunger. I didn’t let her off my sight. I was determined to get her down with my own claws. I chased her all through savannah. I was tired and exhausted .All I could now see is a piece of meat before me .I pulled up all my energy and pounced on her, Grabbed her maw. Splash!!! we fell in the pond .I was procumbent, but somehow held on to her face with my claws. She didn't give up. Now I was in the water and she was standing erect with a bleeding face and struggling to make a move .By now I realized why she was not making a move, my face was going down and down. The bloody creature is drowning me! But I held on to her but could not for too long. MY face was in water and I had to leave her. My meat piece was limping away with a bled face and ripped off maw .I understood the survival instinct and let her go.Truly the survival instinct inspires to live on and on.
