One early morning in Etosha NP (Namibia), I drove up to a waterhole, hoping to find some lions. I didn't see anything....at first,
but suddenly I saw something moving. After a few seconds, a small lion cub appeared, soon followed by 3 others.
There was no sign of mom, but her absence didn't seem to bother them as they soon started running around and playfighting.
After taking pictures for about 20 minutes, they suddenly walked of into the bush. I guess mom called....

Hey Bart,

nice capture. maybe a bit more DOF would have helped, but looks like you needed the s/s.

Happy holidays buddy.

Cheers

Carl
