Out On A Limb

This lion cub was part of a large pride of females and cubs that was returning from a night of hunting in Kenya. The cub had more energy than the accompanying adults and found this dead tree a great place to play.

Time to Play

These two lion cubs in South Africa's Kruger National Park just woke up from a long nap and decided to engage in a bit of play. Lionesses and cubs are quite affectionate. The adult lions were trying to get a few more minutes of sleep.

These cubs, along with some other cubs and a couple of adult lionesses, were soon to set off on their evening hunt. The park was in the throes of a long drought, so the cubs were quite thin.
