    Default Lion cub with muzzle wound.

    This was one of 6 x 5 month old cubs from the "Hollywood" pride.
    She had suffered a severe gash across her muzzle, the result of a swipe
    from one of her much older siblings when the pride had downed a Buffalo. When we saw her
    a few days later it was beginning to heal quite well.
    They breed them tough out in the African bush!
    Sth Luangwa Nat Park - Zambia.

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers
    Marc

    It just hurts looking at that awful wound Marc. Good flash work here. For some reason I just wish you would have included the other front paw.

    Very nice detail in this image. Good catchlight. I'm with Vincent on the front paw.. The FG stick coming into the bottom of the frame is a bit of a problem as well...

    It appears that the cub is in shade, but the colour temp is different, though flash is used. I would have tried to change the temp. I also agree on the paw.

    This was taken at dusk, indicating the need for flash/BB.
