Twilight Lion Cub

Ruaha National Park, Tanzania, must be the best park in Africa for Lions, I have never ceased to see literally hundreds of Lions there.
This youngster was just waking up after taking part in a Lions most usual habit sleeping :biggrin:

Makes me wonder how much other wildlife must exist at this park if you see 100s of lions there !!! I really like the way the cub on the right is looking at the other, it makes for a very engaging image. The subjects require a long lens, but can't help but wonder what this might look like with a shorter lens perspective, say the short end of a 70-200, hypothetically speaking of course. Another outstanding photo as is! :toast:

Gary,
Not only has this park got plenty of interesting animals it is largely very quiet, which I love.
I think with less reach I would just have got more grass :biggrin:
