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 very much!!
Maria Moro
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!

This is such a beautiful capture Andrew, I love these big Cats..he is so adorable, very sad to think they are close to extinction..such powerful and beautiful animals.
parmi replied
Thanks very much Kim, they are so unique in every way. It is very sad that they are nearing extinction, but hopefully programs like these will help keep them around for many generations to come!
BZarling
This is an amazing shot. Great job! I love lions… they are absolutely my favorite animals. They have such power, but at the same time have the ability to be calm and loving.
parmi replied
Thank you very much, I completely agree, they are so regal and commanding, but can be so loving before they turn carnal!!
Pamela B
WOW!! Andrew what a beautiful one!! It’s sad that alot of their habitat is taken! Sensational as always

artbyjehf
Beautiful! Wonderful image. He’s a great spokesman for the need to care for his species.
parmi replied
Thank you very much! He definitely is just that. It’s strange to think that by now he would be s fully grown lion, yet still thought to be a cub :)
