Prince Azlan

This was taken at the Lion & Rhino Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. The same place Mischief was taken. While the brown lion cub was playfully naughty at 4 months old, this white lion cub could barely be bothered moving. He was 3 months old at the time.

He and his 3 siblings were content sitting in the shade, watching the brown lion cubs kick up a dust storm around us. Amazing what 1 month can make to behavioural differences!

All these cubs would have grown close to their full size by now and would be in the return to the wild program, teaching them how to hunt, kill and survive out there. The program is designed to help keep the white lion away from extinction, which sadly, it is dangerously close to at the moment.

    Thank you again Andrew , for another wonderful capture. This is more than a photo of a cute cub…We humans are a funny species,, we want to control & keep to ourselves everything that is pure & beautiful. Our strong sense of wanting to control is the very thing that leads to our loss. Whatever happened to live & let live.. We humans still have alot to learn & I pray it’s not too late for us…cheers my friend..

  • parmi replied

    Thanks Maria! So true, we control ourselves to a point that we are missing out on natural progression. A lot can be learned from watching the young and innocent!
