Actually, I think this lion, rather than being snooty, was really lifting his head in order to scent the air--not a more comforting thought, frankly, since I'm pretty sure I was at least part of what was flavoring the air. I observed this behavior right after having passed by the tiger enclosure, where one of those restless animals had opened its mouth in what may have been a yawn but mainly looked like a very significant display of teeth. Maybe I'm reading into things, but I doubt it...

Well, if they were smelling you, at least you know you smell yummy. :) In grad school, I once got in a library-study-procrastination discussion about the film "Alive" and cannibalism, and who we'd choose to eat if we were stranded on a mountaintop. I got voted first consumed--wasn't sure if I should be honored or horrified.
Oh, my god! I wouldn't know which to be, either! --I'd say probably honored but wary. Don't go on any hiking trips with that group...
