Lion cub chillin' with his sibs. We came across a mother lion and 4 cubs, relaxing under a tree in Santawani Concession, Botswana. Hard to believe they grow up into those mighty fierce creatures - they look so cute! Botswana,Geotagged,Lion,Panthera leo Click/tap to enlarge

    Incredible close up shot. I just watched a National Geographic movie "The Last Lion." I would not be able to see lion close up like that where I live. Great movie , very emotional ...and of course, lions are diminishing in numbers from 450,000 fifty years ago to around 20,000. Thanks for sharing this picture. Posted 11 years ago
