Lion

I took this at the Toronto Zoo. This guy just woke up, I walked up to the barrier and he just looked at me, and this is the shot I got. He looks kind of sleepy still,lol. I hope you all like the shot! Thanks for looking! =)smile

Lion belongs to the following groups:

Animal Kingdom, Big Cats, EF Welcome Center and Zoophoria
