this Lady is not so relaxed

the same Lioness as the one posted for World Lion Day.

A young mother that just had her first litter of small cubs.

 

We found her when she was trying to find out where the main pride was. Lions are very social .

Before this shot she had been roaring to give the other adults of the pride an indication where she was.

A Lioness will wait to join the pride with her cubs until the cubs are somewhat older and more resilient. Until then she keep the cubs at a safe den site and leaves her den to hunt and to drink.
