Boy I love the Africa animal photo's! Nephew did two trips over there and may do a third this year. The animals are simply stunning and usually in terrific settings! Do you live in Africa?

It is strange to see just one lion with the kill. 
Do you think it was an older outcast?

He was the younger one forced to stay out in the sun, the alpha below was keeping cool in the shade

Yeah, I always thought the females were the hunters and the males were lazy and waited for the girls to do the work, then chase them off to eat first....Just like humans.....:)

Why so serious?
