14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lion cubs practice hunting.

These two lion cubs are intently watching a warthog. The mother had given up watching the warthog by this time because the warthogs had seen them and were far enough to outrun them. The mother is taking a nice nap while the cubs stay interested.
