In honor of my mother, whose birthday it is today, I had to go with a mother/baby shot. These two lions were temporarily separated from the rest of the pride — the mom guarding a wildebeest kill she had just made. The baby kept nuzzling up to the mom, but every now and again — probably bored because there was no one else to play with — would come out of the bushes to investigate us. Happy Birthday Mom.
Thanks, Sean, they kinda look like us! not really…you were never a nuzzler, but you were quite a playful cub. And you always loved to play with wildlife, especially all those turtles at the “pit” in our old neighborhood!
