Is there anything cuter than a lion
cub! These cubs were a little older than the others we saw, but just as
adorable.
They did look hungry
too.
One doesn't realize how spotted
lions' coats are when they are little.
You can see this face
maturing.
When we caught up with the pride
again, the lionesses spotted a mother giraffe and her calf in the
distance. The lionesses lay down and it seemed as if they told the cubs to
go over there, sit, stay, and be quiet.
Which they did. They gathered
in a shady spot which didn't help the photography at all. It was wonderful
to watch them observing everything that was going on.
And resting a
little..............
......but watching the lionesses
carefully. (That is a lioness sleeping in the foreground--she knows that
the others know what they are doing.)
Especially when one of them stalked
closer.
Look at that younger one in the
middle--he's ready to go help right now! We really felt like the cubs were
learning how hunting is done.
