Summary

[edit]
Description

Tsavo lions are a distinct variety of Masai lions and are notable for their lack of mane and smooth pelt, their size, and that they actively participate in hunting. Tsavo males have been known as man-eaters, particularly involving an incident during the building of the Uganda Railway in the late 19th century. <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_lion" rel="nofollow">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_lion</a>

This was taken in 1983 using kodachrome. I drove around a bend and nearly hit the lion as it just appeared from the bush. I quickly picked up the camera and snapped it. Always wondered why it's earlobe had a split.
