Description: It was play time for the pride. Naps were over, there were scraps to haggle over and games to be played. Some of the younger cubs were harassing this girl and she set the rules!

Story from behind the lens: The body language and expression of this lioness really drew me in. I was eager to capture her fluid movement and the intensity of her stare.
