One penultimate image before I leave for SA.
Again, more cub's from the pride I had the pleasure of spending seven days with. This wee guy was stalking his brothers or sisters, just gently walking up slowly, before unleashing the speed and jumping on top of his unsuspecting family, building on his behavioural 'surprise & stealth'. Some may want more to the RHS, I'm OK as the tail isn't clipped and it's more about the face & stance for me, but adding some more isn't an issue. There was a clearing but the pride had camped under some bushes creating a softer, more 'dappled' light.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
