African lions
African lions. African lioness (Panthera leo) resting with her cubs. African lions are predatory carnivores that live in the savannah grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa. Usually between two and four cubs are born in a litter. Many cubs do not survive their first year, being killed by predators or by a male who takes over the pride. Female cubs stay with the pride, while the males leave at around three years of age to find their own pride. Photographed in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in the lives of African lions. In the vast savannah grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, an African lioness finds solace as she rests with her adorable cubs by her side. These majestic creatures are known for their predatory nature and form an integral part of the wild ecosystem. The bond between mother and cubs is evident in this image, showcasing the tender care provided by the lioness to ensure their survival. Typically, two to four cubs are born in a litter; however, many do not make it past their first year due to threats from other predators or territorial male lions who take over prides. While female cubs stay within their birth pride, young males venture out at around three years old in search of establishing their own territory and pride. This natural cycle ensures genetic diversity among these magnificent animals. Photographed within Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity found within this region. The lush grasses provide ample camouflage for these feline predators as they navigate through their habitat. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate the beauty and fragility of our planet's wildlife. It serves as a reminder that conservation efforts are crucial to protect these iconic species for future generations to cherish and admire.
