Lion

I don't know why there is a belief out there that there are very few lions in the northern region of Kruger . I have found that the Mopani Camp area to be the best Big 5 area in Kruger and lion are included there ...This is a Nursery Pride I came across pre 05h00 in Midsummer at the No entry sign to Sirheni Bush Camp off the S56. I agree that the lions in the Northern Region are true wild lions and are not traffic habituated for example..This lioness was not really happy having me there with her small cubs ..That look was ominous and a noisy camera shutter didn't help!! I wasn't relaxed at all shooting from a beanbag on the open window with the 70-200

Not the Mapogos at all...they were serious lions and big and mean and full of scars ...These are computer enhanced Lab lions ..carefully cut and paste ...you can see the vegetation around them is all manipulated/deleted/added ..not very well concealed at all

Loved meeting up with this Sub Adult as he roared far away kms far and out of sight and after a while appeared at Nkaya Pan where I was parked experiencing the day waking up

No, nan, they were taken a few years ago. The cub finally decided it would make a nice soft pillow, and fell asleep on it.
