Famous photographer describes his experience with a lion

That is one beautiful lioness....he has more shots on instagram :)

That is probably the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime picture!

Baring not only her belly, but her neck too, is a major sign of submission. Maybe she's know humans before and they were kind to her

They're really just big cats

She was hoping for a belly scratch.

It is sad how a beautiful being like her is on the edge of extinction.. TT

I wonder to what extent their habitat is disturbed by well meaning photographers and naturalists. Are prey scared off? Is the mating cycle interupted? At least we always mean well when poking around the habitats of these nearly extinct animals.
