Friday seems like as good a day as any to post another lion cub. This little one hails from the Central Kalahari Desert in Botswana. He/she seemed to be feeling ferociously confident — albeit hiding behind the safety of mom and dad. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/640th of a second
Just learning how to growl or roar like its father and mother. As Michael said, he/she is just past the stage you want to cuddle it. And those teeth have grown to the stage they can tear into an animal’s carcass like its parents. Great shot Sean. Nicely framed between the olds. 🙂

great pic. this is the stage, they become , a danger and no one wants to play with them any more.
Ancient energy is recalled—-Sheltered by his supportive pride—-This one’s ready to rumble.

So cute. Love it. One of my new favorites Sean! 🙂
Beautiful shot, love this composition & the colors!
He’s got the look Sean, perfect capture … even those teeth at his/her age are a true carnivore, hope he’s a survivor cub mortality rate is high.
