I love the 2nd one and the way their eyes are lit up in the darkness...always watching over their food...i think you did an excellent job and even though there a bit gory i really enjoyed them and i love the little lion cub...nice work.

I love these Angella, those Lions are very hungry. Its well worth going for a safari to Angella's flickr page. Loads of lions there and other nice animals too. Great work Angella.. Your visit to Africa was well worth it.

Dave.

These are fantastic close up shots of something we don't get to see, thanks for sharing.

We went to South Africa, outside of Johannesburg. The lion photos were taken at The Lion Park in Lanceria. We camped in a tent and did a day feed as well as a night feed....very incredible trip.
