Amazing Day

Photo taken in August, 2016 @ Olmense Zoo, Belgium

This cubbie seemed rather content clinging to his tree trunk all by himself. His siblings had run off after Mum again, but he stayed behind. Not for that long, though - as soon as the fun is going on somewhere else, without him, he had to get in on it, too And being king of the rock when no one cares, is no fun either. So better to show off by jumping the others (and Mum), than trying to get comfortable on that trunk.

It's really kind of fun, putting these closer-ups of the cubbies together and noticing that we got all of them in a shot at one moment or another

 Did you know:  

…It is the second-largest living Cat, after the Tiger, but the tallest – at the shoulder – of all living cats.

…Lions are the only members of the Cat family to display obvious sexual dimorphism, meaning that males and females look distinctly different.

…Lions in captivity tend to be larger than Lions in the wild.
