I've seen the destruction the fire cause over vast areas, nan

Here's a pic of the little ones. Alas, they hid away without mum and my camera
let me down big time. The surrounding was too 'noisy' and no matter what I did,
the bleeding camera wouldn't focus properly.

The new camera probably would have done the job. But it was smashed by then.

Seems to be a bit of debate about whether the spotless one is a fake:

This picture shows a very muscular shoulder and a pretty short & thick neck. Honestly this looks like a "photo shopped" picture of a lions body and a cheetah's head...

it seems, without the spots, we see much more the musculation
and then the appearence of a Lion, but a very deep chest, that Lions don't have
very interesting $\O$
