African lions are known by many for their ferocity and their aggressiveness and their cunning in the hunt. Fewer know about their strong bond to their family -- their pride -- and their affection within the family group. Here, at a watering hole in the southern Serengeti of Tanzania, three cubs vie for their mother's affection after all have awakened from a long afternoon nap. Oh, and few people know of lions' ability to nap -- sometimes as much as 20 hours per day. Taken during a May-June 2019 safari to East Africa. ©2019 | John M. Hudson
