Lioness Picking up Scent
A lioness in the Masai Mara, Kenya, picking up scent. Taken from a moving safari vehicle. Shortly after this shot was taken we watched her charge a young giraffe. Her attempt was unsuccessful as the mother and youngster got away. I've never seen a giraffe run so fast. Amazing!
