Read the text, then answer the question that follows:
Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp-Camille Grant, October 2011
Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them.
Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the
perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled
after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a
celebratory honk of the bus hom. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus
headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
Review the following in from the text:
Armed with cameras and cell phones, they were invading the lions' territory in hopes of capturing the perfect photograph.
The author uses several verbs to describe the tourists' actions. The connotative tone of these verbs implies that the photographers are
hunters
reporters
scientists
