Here's another image from my recent photo safari to Tanzania taken during our stay in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which borders Serengeti National Park. We found a litter of four approximately four-week old Lion (Panthera leo) cubs under a dense acacia thicket, and they were the youngest cubs I've ever photographed. The shooting conditions were poor due to the limited sight lines, but I was able to make a couple of good images like this one. Enjoy!
