Panthera leo masaiccus

    Masai Lion, Panthera leo masaiccus.

    Please watch this in bigger size!

    The grassland was covered with deep fog. As in a zoo, lions seen in this Masai Mara are mostly sitting or sleeping. But sometimes they show such dignity and wildness as a king of animals. When it's in the fog, or trotting in high grasses, it looks to be much dangerous, furious hunter.

    Masai-Mara national reserve, Kenya, Nov 1996
    Canon EOS630/EF70-200
