I took this photograph in the Tarangira National Park in Tanzania.
This baby lion is about 4 weeks old. Our guide had been keeping an eye on the 2 lionesses, probably sisters, who denned together for one of them to give birth to 3 cubs. The look in its eyes is just plain precious…this tiny little baby obviously totally depending on its 400 pound mother. In this picture, mom is about to coax the babies to the other side of the den, knowing there are humans not far away watching them. The sad thing about many safari destinations is that there are so many vehicles hanging around that the animals are quick to give us the butt view and further protect the young from potential danger and human eyes. I hated that part and regretted I contributed to it with my participation.

Kay, I have commented on this photo before and come here to find that everything has disappeared. Anyhoo, this is a perfect Kodak moment! The eyes on the baby are precious. Do you see the left foot of the mama? Right near the bottom of her foot, I see something like looks like metal in the grass. Did you see that and if so, what was that?

That expression on the baby's face is the best part, I think. Thanks, Lizzie.

I was clicking a shot every few seconds as she interacted with her cubs. I love the look on the cub's face :)
