Can't Explain It, But Let Me Show You --- This is What Prey Feels Like

Making eye-to-eye contact at close range with an alpha preditor is an unnerving experience. I got a chill looking through the viewfinder, even though I was in the complete safety of the viewing area of the Washington National Zoological Park. This royal "King of the Beasts" is a truely awesome and magnificent creature. (African Lion, Panthera leo: his name is "Luke")
