Lion Cubs, Kenya
This past June I was photographing in the Ol Kinyei and Naboisho Conservancies just north of Maasai Mara National Reserve. One evening we came upon this pride of lions with some cubs of various ages, including these two little ones. They stared at me constantly. I don’t know why. I certainly wasn’t the first human they had seen. Anyway, I was happy to get some good eye contact. Thank you, cubs.

Mature Male Lion, Kenya
Here is a lion that I saw every day while shooting in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in Kenya. He co-leads a pride with another male of about the same age. I don’t recall if they are brothers or just partners to give themselves a better chance of holding onto the pride.
Lion Cub ands Adult, Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Kenya
A lion cub practices its fighting skills with an impatient adult. Cubs need to learn to survive and fighting is part of that. Most cubs don’t make it to adulthood.
A Lioness Carries Her Cub to a New Den, Kenya
A few months ago I posted a photo of this lioness carrying her cub. This is a different photo and I cropped it to better show their faces, especially the little cub’s tongue hanging out of its mouth. The photo was taken in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy, Kenya.
