A close up of the majestic lion, taken Kruger National Park South Africa. / Lions are endangered because of hunting and habitat loss.
-
Taken in Ngorongoro National Park, Tanzania. / A group of lioness were teaching their young how to hunt. An amzing experience. In this shot the zebra were clueless about the lioness stalking towards them, however this hunt was unsuccessful for the lions. Only about 1 in 6 hunts are successful.
-
Taken in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. / These two juvenile males watched on as the lionesses atempted to hunt. You can see their manes starting to form.
-
Taken in Thailand. Tigers are the largest of the Big Cats. Big Cats are the only cats that roar. This is a Bengal tiger. There are 5 subspecies of tigers and 3 extinct subspecies of tiger. / Poaching, habitat loss and use of parts for medicine are major threats for this distinguished animal.

Taken in South Africa. Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals reaching speeds of up to 120 km/hr over short distances. Their tail acts like a rudder ensuring balance and ease of turning. Endangered due to habitat destruction.
-
Taken at a lion refuge in Zimbabwe. I am fascinated by how regal the lion is. Such power and such an amazing experience to be able to go to sleep at night with the sound of roaring in the distance.

Taken in Thailand. The tiger is the largest of the big cats and the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is the largest of all. Hunted illegally for their pelts, trophy body parts, alleged medicinal purposes and in some parts are considered pests for taking livestock or encroaching too close to humans, these animals have been brought to the brink of extiction with only aroung 2500 remaining in the wild today. Only by refusing to buy endangered animal products can we stop the blackmarket trading of these goods. Tigers look much better intact and in the wild.

Taken at Hoedspruit Endangered Species Rehab Centre in South Africa. This was a checkup on a male cheetahs tooth as it was a bit infected in a cut from some previous dinner. He was given some antibiotics and was fine. / Many problem cheetahs (i.e cheetahs on farms, human accustomed cheetahs etc) are brought in by this Rehab centre as if they were left in the wild they would surely be shot by a farmer. Cheetahs were once hunted for their beautiful pelts and heads with their unmistakeable tear drop lines on their face from eye to lip. / Rehab centres like this are essential for determining the survival and varied genepool for this creature. Successful breeding can be difficult as cheetahs have abnormal sperm. This particular rehab centre while I was there sent some cheetahs to a zoo in Japan (very closely monitoring and applying animal welfare all the way to and for a bit at the new zoo itself) / Cheetahs are classed as small cats as they do not roar. Most people know them as the fastest land animal over short distances, reaching up to 110 km/hr. I have personally seen a cheetah in the Serengeti smell out, stalk, chase and bring down a Thompson’s gazelle which he then took to shade and his brother (I assume) shared the meal.

Lion at Melbourne Zoo Australia / Panthera Leo / Family : Felidae Felidae is the biological family of the cats; a member of this family is called a felid. Felids are the most strictly carnivorous of the sixteen mammal families in the order Carnivora. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50 percent over the past two decades in its African range;[6] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies / Panasonic FZ20 / 72mm, 1/320s, f/4.0, ISO: 200

Lions spend much of their time resting and are inactive for about 20 hours per day. Although lions can be active at any time, their activity generally peaks after dusk with a period of socialising, grooming, and defecating. Intermittent bursts of activity follow through the night hours until dawn, when hunting most often takes place. They spend an average of two hours a day walking and 50 minutes eating.
