Lioness and Cubs - Fun and Tragedy

[bryanpereira]

Interesting watching all the interaction, I liked the way the cubs wet fur rendered. The group went away and came back after a while, a third cub was dead, possibly it drowned or was weak. Im not sure the mum waited with it for a while then left

Very nice set! I think the mortality rate for cubs is pretty high. Even for the king of the jungle, life is hard and often brutal.

Btw, welcome to Focus on Photovraphy! Looking forward to seeing your work.
