The next generation...

My contribution to this weeks #sundaysliders #hss #sliderssunday. A young lion cub showing some teeth. The next generation of hunters. Cropped heavily and lots of additional saturation, clarity and contrast.

 

Lions have three types of teeth: Incisors, the smallest teeth at the front of the mouth, are used for gripping and tearing meat. Canines, the four largest teeth (either side of the incisors), can reach up to 7 centimetres in length. What size is a lion cub? Mothers give birth to up to 6 cubs at a time but litters of 2 or 3 are more common.
