Dozens of concerned citizens swear they've seen a lion prowling the Milwaukee suburbs. Could such a thing be possible?

When you go camping, you're putting yourself smack dab in the middle of nature. When you go camping in Africa, that nature is often full of some of the world's largest, most dangerous critters.
