This is one majestic lion. He was sleeping in the shade of the afternoon sun. I must have stood there for twenty minutes or so waiting for some kind of movement. You just never know when an animal is going to move.
Then it happened. He stretched his neck as if to get a sniff of the air and glimpse of the sun.
