Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

 

In all fairness, I didn’t see any tigers or bears on my safari to Tanzania but I did see a ton of lions. And while I’ve written about my trip for various guest posts (Catster, CatWisdom101) I have yet to share photos on my blog.

Since I have so many photos to share I decided to focus on the lions today. All the photos, unless noted otherwise were taken by yours truly!

Look at that pink tongue!

 

I adore these photos my sister Mar took of a Mama lion and her baby cub.

As an aside, I learned that the word for Lion in Swahili is actually “simba,” which makes it kind of odd that the lion in The Lion King is named “lion.”

not sharing

Someone isn’t in the sharing mood!

I hope you enjoyed the lion photos – Do you have a favorite?!  I have so many more I can’t wait to share with you!
