After feasting on an oryx kill with the rest of her pride — including six cubs — this lioness was enjoying a much needed stop at the water hole. Like the ostrich I posted last week, this one was from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/320th of a second
