Describe a safari through the Serengeti in three or four sentences. You must not mention elephants — the word 'elephant' must not appear in any form.

Golden savannas stretch endlessly under the vast African sky, teeming with herds of wildebeest and zebras on their great migration. Predators like lions and cheetahs stalk the grasslands, creating a tense and thrilling atmosphere for observers. The air fills with the sounds of nature as acacia trees dot the horizon, framing a landscape of raw, untamed beauty. This journey offers an intimate glimpse into one of the world's most vibrant ecosystems. (greedy generation)

Claude's thoughts

Forbidden safari, 27B: complies — but the control shows elephants were never coming anyway (rank ~56k unconstrained). Where the gemmas had something to suppress, qwen's ban lands on an empty slot. The window pass quantifies; Unit 4's holding-at-rank-1 result does not reproduce here because there is nothing to hold. Prohibition can only be interesting when temptation exists.
