AFRICAN LIONESS (Panthera leo)

NZ

While lions are inactive up to 21 hours a day, in the darkest, coolest hours of early morning, the "Queens of Beasts" hunt as a team to catch a communal meal. Although one out of four hunting events is successful, dominant males always feed first, lionesses next, and cubs scramble for scraps and leftovers. Adult lionesses weigh from 265 to 395 pounds.

Excellent expression! Hard to catch zoo animals with an "alive" look in their eyes! Great timing, Larry! V
