Lions!

LIONS

Male lions at nap time (which is basically all the time).





A ranger told us the story of this lion and her baby. Only female lions hunt, and the men usually watch the cubs to protect them from attacks. But this lion's mate was out being unfaithful and left the five cubs unprotected. A hyena killed cubs of them the day before I took these photos. We watched as she lavished attention on the remaining cub.







Pride Rock -- right behind our camp sight. The Serengeti was filled with lions: the lions mating in our camp site, the lions sunbathing on the other side of our site, the lions chasing a hyena across our front porch.
