Top 10: 7. Yawn!

by Darren

Most wildlife images require a degree of waiting, so I was somewhat surprised less than an hour after arriving in the Masai Mara in September 2007 with a party of seven guests.

A pride of lions were atop some mounds of earth that had been dug out by the rangers, and combined with the overcast sky I was able to get a magnificent sequence of this female lion yawning that looks like it’s been taken in a studio.
