It’s not everyday you get to see a species known for its ferocity, showing tenderness instead. These are two Lion brothers (captivity) who had spent most of the morning playfully teasing each other before they sat down to…well….no other word for it – “cuddle”. This was the only shot I got that worked as they were partially obscured by a toy in their enclosure. On review I was very lucky, not only was there a beautiful symmetry in the lions’ head positions, but both eyes were closed in the ‘moment’ as well. The image has been edited for a more dramatic effect and to perfectly isolate the two animals and their experience.

Watching 100’s of people come and go at the lion section of Dubbo Zoo paid off, after sleeping all day, they started walking around.

This is a Barbary Lion, of which there are none left in the wild as they were hunted to almost extinction. Barbary Prides are now found only in wildlife parks. Lion Cub at Paradise Valley Springs, Rotorua. We got to cuddle the cub :)
Oh man… It took me forever to get this one to the point where I would submit it here to RedBubble, haha. Anyway, it’s loosely based off of a tattoo design I drew up a while back. I was wanting “Strong and Courageous” in Latin across the banner, but the translators I found online came up with “Validus quod Fortis” which means “Mighty and Strong.” But it works well enough for me ;) Hope you guys like it!

She has kindly allowed me to use her written work Until We Meet Again to accompany this work. / / Until We Meet Again… Dad… No one in this entire world could ever take your place. / Inside my heart, my mind, my soul, I see your handsome face. I never got the chance to thank you, for always being there for me. / Even through the hard times you gave me love abundantly. I felt your love tremendously, in even the little things you’d do. / I treasure every single moment that I ever shared with you. Suddenly our time together became sweet memories of the past. / Those memories I will treasure each day… Until we meet again at last!!! Written “With All My Love” / By: Vanesse Cathleen
