A cold wind hit her face, taking Ivana Bennett by surprise. However, trained by her special forces father since childhood, her instincts kicked in and she quickly stepped back as she sensed danger.
Clang!
A large creature threw itself against the wire mesh, causing the entire steel fence to shudder.
Ivana steeled herself and looked on in surprise.
The creature that collided with the wire mesh was, shockingly, an African Lion.
It was an adolescent male lion, with beautiful golden mane and a golden-brown coat. Its limbs were thick and strong, and its claws struck sparks against the wire mesh.
Separated by the steel fence, the lion and Ivana looked at each other. There was caution, but mostly anger in its crystal yellow eyes, seemingly displeased with Ivana's intrusion into its territory.
The lion lowered its head slightly and issued a low warning growl from its throat.
It appeared domineering as if warning Ivana to leave immediately.
