Call of the Wild
Photograph by Linda Porter, National Geographic Your Shot
A lioness roars a warning to her cubs in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. “She was perched on a hill right on the side of the dirt road,” writes Your Shot member Linda Porter, who captured the picture on an evening game drive. On an opposite hill were three young male lions, which sometimes kill cubs. “Our guide knew this lioness had three young cubs that were were out of sight and hidden. We observed her for over an hour as she continued to call out to her cubs, warning them of the potential danger that lurked across the way. Unlike most of our children, these cubs were extremely obedient and remained hidden.”
Porter’s picture recently appeared in Your Shot’s Daily Dozen.
Beautiful! I’ve been there! I love Kenya. Wonderful post.
😀
Thank you!
Hey, hello you! Nice to see you here too 🙂
Hahah! Yeah! I see you everywhere 🙂 Love it. I want to be as active as you!
It does come with a little lack of sleep though… maybe it’s not so good 😉
I’m glad to see both of you here. 😉
It’s a beautiful shot. I feel a bit like a lioness tonight, roaring really loud to scare the dangerous male away from my cub…
Wow! Great! 😛
