I like the detail in this photo, including what looks like a wound.  The leg positions are great.  In the larger version, the eyes are haunting.  Nice photo.

She really does look less than friendly!   Thanks for posting.

Hi Sandy,

I think your caption fits this image very well - definitely wouldn't want to mess with her! Leg positioning certainly maximizes view of the young'un!

Thanks for sharing...
