African Lion, Serengeti National Park

This is a photo showing the battle scars of being the leader of a pride.

“Let’s Be Careful Out There.”

For those of you old enough to remember the TV show “Hill Street Blues,” Sgt. Esterhaus used to end his briefings with the caution “let’s be careful out there.”  The streets can be dangerous.  So can the plains of the Serengeti as this male African lion can attest.  In addition to that nasty wound under his eye and split upper lip, he’s missing his upper left fang and his lower one is broken.  Nevertheless, he is still the leader of a pride.
