Another example of the remarkable Lion sightings available in Ruaha National Park Tanzania. They are laying in a dry riverbed just after sunset.

Wonderful lighting, sharpness; and pose (by both). They look totally relaxed and huggable (yeah, sure!). The flies seem attracted to the mother only. Or am I mistaken?

Jim and Phillip,
Thanks very much for your comments.
The flies certainly seem to only be around mum, I rarely get rid of them as they are around all of thetime

I really like the intimacy of this image Ken. You can feel how much love that mother has for her cub and how much innocence that cub has.
