Panthera leo krugeri (female)

This white lady, Magda, has “the most frozen look” you could ever meet. Getting close to the mesh to take a picture of her is always a challenge.

Playing

I have been trying to get some decent photos of this pair of white lions for quite some time now. Eventually I got some photos I was happy with. Although the lighting conditions were poor I managed to get some nice shots of the King and his Queen playing. Aren't they lovely kittens?

The young male was sleepy and could not help not to yawn. Lucky for me though as  I was able to take a shot of  his fear-inspiring theeth!
