Lion Rule Number 1: Don't Run Away - Amy Dickman

Don't run from lions. National Geographic Big Cats Initiative grantee Amy Dickman can't stress this enough as "Rule Number One" when dealing with the cats. But that's easier said than done when face to face with one of nature's top predators. Late in 2012, some villagers near her Ruaha Carnivore Project in Tanzania decided they were going to chase a lion from her kill. But the lion proved to be persistent and ended up nearly making a meal of a villager, who escaped, but "now walks with a limp."
