The Coloseum in Rome is the largest ampitheater built by the Roman empire, seating 50,000 patrons. Construction began in 72 AD and was completed in 80 AD, although alterations were made over the years. Gladiatorial shows and animal hunts were some of the "entertainment" that were presented in the Coloseum. AIMG_2251

The lioness is carrying her freshly killed Thompson's gazelle back to the rest of the pride. She had previously unsuccesfully attacked a herd of zebra, causing nothing more than a stampede. The poor unfortunate young gazelle was hiding in the tall grass and could not escape. AAfrica.4 2006 324
