Panthera leo
The only large cats that live in groups, lions are the second largest cats after the tigers. The females do most of the hunting; they also scavenge for a good part of their diet. Females help one another care for their young.

These two young lions were quite far from the road, resting and playing in the shade.

Thank you, maca1; it was great spotting them!
Thank you, Karen. If I had had a larger zoom lens, the photos would have been better but it was very cool to see them!
Nice series - the 3rd & 4th photos are very charming!
