Lions 7-27-2015
Watching these two young male lions lounging together on a wide rock ledge offered a quiet, relaxed moment during an afternoon observing big cats. Both settled in comfortably side-by-side, soaking up the afternoon heat from the smooth stone surface while lazily keeping an eye on everything happening around them in the open habitat.
The shot frames both lions resting across textured gray stone, with one facing forward in a calm sphinx pose and the second lying in profile in the foreground. Natural dappled daylight catches their tawny coats, short developing manes, and the dense green tree foliage filling the upper background.
