Another lucky shot of a beautiful female lion in its best sphinx form :)
As we were on our way back to the exit of the park this lion jumped from a bush onto the road with its new born baby that couldn't even walk. After showin off a bit it casually passed the car. The flies on its body is from after the birth! Very lucky sight! A damn cute mini lion
