This tiny little lion cub kept leaving his mother to get a better look at us. He’d make a bit of a half-hearted charge and then return back to her. We were in the Olare Orok Conservancy which is a private concession on the northern border of the Masai Mara in Kenya.

So cute at this size & the look on his face shows in photo of curiosity watching you
I bet you were ready to run if Momma lion came looking!
