Lioness resting on a tree trunk in Nairobi Animal Orphanage It was about 6pm in the evening, when I took this photo at the Nairobi National Orphanage in Nairobi National Park. The other lions were beginning to roar but this one was not restless. It just perched itself on this tree trunk to watch the visitors there.
