Lion Around

With my back playing up I've not taken the camera out much and when I have results have not been great so I am dipping into the archives today to bring you this guy who refused to get up from his nap to have a dignified photo taken.

Lion

Conservation status: Vulnerable
Distribution: Central and southern Africa
Habitat: Grassy plains, savannahs, semi-deserts

Did you know that Spotted Hyaenas and African Painted Dogs are the natural predators of old, young or sick lions that are too weak to defend themselves?

Find the lions in the African Savannah exhibit.

  1. Hi Stella, now that looks like one laid back lion. Bet he'd wake up if you got too close though!

    Hope your back gets better soon.
