    Just returned from my first trip this year to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I encountered this this magnificent male near Twee Rivieren in the south of the park. I extended the canvass slightly on the left.

    Hi Chris, a very, very nice image/portrait. Good depth, colour, detail and crop. Works for me even on the laptop. A little gem.

    Great shot Chris.

    Question. Are Scar and/or Osus still alive?

    Cheers

    Chris,

    Wonderful to see such a good looking Lion, without male pattern baldness:)

    Looks like there may even be the start of a dark mane.

    Not to sure about the extra canvas but otherwise as good as ever.

    Thanks guys. Peter, no idea if they are alive, but Ousus would be very old by now?
