Lions live a competitive lifestyle, to say the least. This guy was actually part of a two lion coalition. We watched him limp up onto this kopje. The tip of his tail was missing and he had many scars all over his body. Still, his strength and sense of power had not diminished.

Labels: A large lion on a granite kopje. His face shows his history. I shot this with a Canon XTi at 350 mm. I used a 100-400 mm IS lens.

About Me

My photo
Chuck
Searsmont, Maine, United States
I have several blogs. My latest has samples of portraits. Many of them are students and their families. I've been a high school art and photography teacher for over twenty years and have shared many of my trips with students and adults. I've led trips to Manhattan, Boston, Quebec City-Canada, and Europe. There is a feeling in Tanzania that is unmatched by any of the other places I've explored. The people are wonderful and the location is both remote and thriving with wildlife. In fact, there is no other place on earth that can claim the diversity and sheer numbers of animals found in Tanzania. Over the years, photography has naturally developed into something that is more than a hobby. I am presently working on a photo book that will focus on the wildlife of Tanzania as well as the Swahili language. I've been working on learning Swahili for awhile now and will continue to do so for years to come. While in Maine, I spend a great deal of time studying Bald Eagles. Check out my other blog featuring photography of these wonderful birds. baldeaglesofmaine.blogspot.com
