Species: Lion | Location: Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
This young lion climbed up in the tree at Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. The lioness kept a careful eye on the surroundings while the rest of the pride lounged below resting after a long trek. She did not seem disturbed by our presence. The photo was taken with a telephoto lense so we were not really too close to the animals.
About The Photographer
I am a fairly new photographer, definitely an amateur. I use a Nikon P900 and Nikon P950. My focus is bird and animal photography, always trying to get a better shot! My husband and I are birders and have found that birding takes us to some phenomenal places and gives us the opportunity to see many diverse cultures, landscapes and animals in addition to the birds we seek. We have just completed our National Park Bucket list by visiting all 63 US National Parks, all 50 states and 7 continents. We are looking forward to some quality bird photo opportunities next year as we tour with Nat Hab to Costa Rica and Australia. There are still many places to explore and we can’t wait!Vote for this photo in the Nat Hab's 2024 Guest Photo Contest People’s Choice Awards!
