Three female lions rest on the vast African plains of the Masai Mara in Kenya. Shortly after taking this shot, they were joined by two others from the pride and they made an attempt to capture a warthog. I had no idea how fast a warthog could be and despite the well orchestrated ambush by the lions, the warthog narrowly escaped. Those are cape buffalo in the distance. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 125mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/2500th of a second.

Such beautiful animals and so strong looking
Classic girl’s night out. When my wife and her friends hit the town, they also usually attempt to capture a warthog.
This image lays out a special tale of time & space & a few of the residents that call the African plains “home”.
The calm setting belies the drama about to unfold. Even at rest, they are breathtaking.
