Cuddle up!

Cuddle up!

            Explored 412 - 2011-10-21 

During a recent trip to Masai Mara, we came across this huge pride of Lions late in the evening. 
The pride consisted of 7 lionesses, 3 males and about 12 cubs of various ages. 
The adults were just waking up from their afternoon slumber and the cubs were all full of life waiting for some food to be delivered!
