ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Wide eyes and coming alive at dusk, lions trade their lazy energy for one of alertness as they ready themselves for a hunt in the coming night. In this heightened state the lions are extra perceptive to any change in their environment, for they are hungry for a chase - their pupils widen and their nostrils open as they ready themselves for challenges ahead. The saying goes that a lion sees you a hundred times before you see it, making it all the more thrilling to be in their company, photographing them in this exaggerated state. This lion was lit by the headlights of our vehicle and was a very challenging shot to get as there was quite a breeze blowing the grass about, hiding the lion from view. My spine tingled the whole time we were in its presence.
