Photographer’s Note

I love wildlife photography - and here is one where I wish I had a bigger and better zoom.
Still it was wonderful to watch these lion cubs playing in the early hours of the morning in Chobe National Park.
The one had been born without a tail, but that still didn't stop him from being the cheekiest of the bunch - constantly trying to get the older cubs to play - even ruining the mothers' hunt running right across the river bank just as the females were ready to go for an impala.

hello Maria

Yes, a 400mm tele would be perfect for a shot like this.

A fine capture of the play action of the lion cubs in natural habitat and really sharp freeze in standing position. I would prefer to see off center position by doing a crop off the left space.

A fine TE post of wildlife.

tfs, bill
