Surprisingly well camouflaged in a small section of forest, this lioness was just finishing off the remains of a juvenile giraffe. I arrived at the scene at dawn to find a (presumably) dominant female lazing nearby with a belly ready to burst. This second lion was only given away by the light coming through the ribcage, otherwise I would've missed her completely.
