I really like this photograph.
It tells a story without words. These baboons were part of a large troop in Tanzania that also included a white (not albino) male baboon. We watched the animals for quite a while during a morning game drive. There were several babies that entertained us with their play, chasing each other and running around.
I'm not a big fan of baboons, but this image captured my attention. I don't know the relationship between the two animals in the picture. They might be siblings, or perhaps they are mother and baby.
Whatever the relationship, the baby is looking up at the older animal as if to "I love you." I think the fact that I can't see the face of the other animal tells a more poignant story, as it is left to the viewer's imagination to determine what the interaction represents.
This adult male lion appears to be smiling. Maybe it's because he had a good dream. He and his two brothers had just awakened from an afternoon nap to be well rested for a night of hunting.
My group found the brothers early the following morning, several miles awy, finishing off the carcass of a wildebeest they had killed during the night.
The action happened in Tanzania.

This beautiful female leopard was photographed during a photo safari in Tanzania. Leopards are solitary animals and are not easy to spot. But one of our wonderful guides found this one walking through tall grass. Luckily for us, she climbed atop this small hill and posed for us.
