Description

Yet for all its glory, the lion is only the second largest of the big cats, the tiger being the largest. Full grown males displaying a regal and imposing nonchalance, regularly exceeding 400 pounds in the wild, and measuring up to 10 feet in length, from the tip of the tail to the nose. Females, only slightly smaller, range from 275 to 400 pounds and measure up to nine feet in length. Like other members of the Felidae, the lion has a lithe, compact, muscular and deep chested body with a rounded and shortened head bearing prominent whiskers. The lions, one of the five species of the genus Panthera, are composed of seven subspecies; the Angolan lion, endangered, Panthera leo bleyenberghi; the Asiatic lion of India's Gir Forest, endangered, Panthera leo persica; the Masai lion, Panthera leo massaieus; the Senegalese lion, endangered, Panthera leo senegalensis; the Transvaal lion, endangered, Panthera leo krugeri; the Barbary lion, extinct, Panthera leo leo; the Cape lion, extinct, Panthera leo leo; and the Cape lion, extinct, Panthera leo malanochiata.

Another awsome photo from you. The lighting could not be better. This really poster quality. Looking at his belly, it looks like a piece of wood is poking him. Did you make an attempt to walk over and remove the piece of wood to make him more comfortable :) Just kidding about the last part. Very well done
