Mammals of Lake Nakuru National Park
Lion Cubs Playing

I was alone on an early morning drive when I received an excited phone call from the Senior Warden of Lake Nakuru National Park giving me a tip off as to the location of lions. I went there quickly and the scene was worth it. There were 16 lions of all sizes by the side of the road. The cubs were playing on an old tree trunk and I took a series of shots of the scene. I like the amusing and cute nature of this picture. By the way, I called the Senior Warden a few minutes later to tell him where to find a big bull black rhino…
