Uphill Strugle?

To celebrate International Lion Day here is a youngster, one of the many many Lions still alive and free.
Some people would have you believe that Lions are endangered, and some famous film makers make good money from telling everybody that this is so :frown:
Whilst Lions in common with most other Wildlife are suffering great depletion in areas of West Africa, elsewhere they are doing fine, in spite of human population growth. This is particularly true of Ruaha National Park, Tanzania where this image was taken.

Nice shot Ken, looks like the cub is out for another day of play.

Very nice warm colors and sharp where it needs to be. The upraised paw with the view of the pads is a great detail. :toast:
