Can't remember if I have posted this or not, but this is Mum to the young cub I just posted and she was absolutely gorgeous. The termite mound was behind her where the young cub was ensconced. Shortly after taking the shot it was time to slowly put the camera down as she started to take an unhealthy interest in me, probably down to the reflection in the barrel of the lens.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
