African Animals
The Lioness
This lioness (genus Panthera, family Felidae) had participated in a kill the night before and has settled down for a rest in the shade.
I was in Botswana when we encountered a pride of 10 lions. How exciting! In a topless vehicles, with a huge male, 4 lionesses, and 5 cubs of various ages roaming around. Needless to say, I used a telephoto lens (100-400mm), but still.....Luckily the excitement overcame any possible fear...as long as everybody stayed very very still.
