This 4-5 month old female cub copped a massive gash across it's muzzle during a feeding frenzy, and acted as if nothing happened :huh. They are one tough predator!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Cubs instead of kittens...wonder who decided that one. headscratch.gif

    While I was checking that, I came across this in the Wikipedia:
    Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside man. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India and the Bering land bridge and in the Americas from Yukon to Peru.
    I did not know that! Cool.

    Very nice shots! thumb.gifthumb
