Howard,
Actually the Topi were quite far back and the lion was probably not in their
threat zone - the visual compressionof a telephoto is at work here. Topi are
also possibly the fastest of the large antelopes as well, so they would take
liberties that a Zebra or Wildebeest would not. There are also signs that
big cats give out - for example, a leopard with its tail up moving across
open areas signifies that it is not hunting.
Cheers
Jayanand
