Default Same Lion Feed.....no gore

This had to be shot in the dark, so had to use a flash...I know her eyes aren't in crisp focus, but I love this shot. The male was sharing with the cubs, but would not share with the females...and they weren't too happy about it.

That second one is great. Those fangs are scary looking.

Wow, excellent captures. I wouldn't like to put my hand near those teeth. I just love the big cats. Thank you for sharing these great photographs Leona.

Dave.

Leona, the second shot is really great, and scary. I hope the lion wasn't showing those fangs to you. Excellent captures, nevertheless. My hands would have been trembling way too much for a good shot like that. Well done.
