Another image from our sighting of the tree climbing Lions of Ishasha, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda. Lions actually climb trees in many places, nit just those highly publicised, I have even seen it in Kafue in Zambia.

Great shot of this little guy just hanging out, totally relaxed. I find it interesting that more and more lions are found climbing trees when previously it was thought they couldn't.

Unique setting, pose and expression Ken. "Settings", we don't need no stinking settings!!!

Actually, we might.

Not sure how much difference it would have made, but a shallower dof to blow the greenery in the background might have been nice if attainable. Still, very nice as is, and....unique.
