I have been on African Safari as well and that point instantly resonated with me. The 100s of 1000s of miles were theirs to freely roam around and do what they wanted - and the humans who came to see them are the ones in the cages (except that the cages moved around - in the form of a jeep with a guide). I also used to wonder what is going on in the Lion's mind - some 10 jeeps surrounding it while it is resting in the shade and some oohs-and-aahs (and even though it is 1 pm, some idiot always has the flash-on by mistake).

I'll just say this. When i was on the safari, our vehicle got stuck in the mud. There was a pride of lions within 50 meters of our jeep. We had to get outside and push. One member of our party was the look-out, and at one point yelled "the lion is coming" at which point we all moved as fast as we had ever in our lives. All the lioness did was get up and start pacing. While I was at the zoo, there was a 3-year-old boy taunting the Lion in his 15 by 45 foot cage. See the difference?
