Headline: COVER IMAGES CHOOSE BEST PICTURES OF THE YEAR: Adorable Lion Cubs Play-Fighting
Caption:
World renowned wildlife photographer Andy Rouse captured these charming images of lion cubs having fun play-fighting.
His pictures show the two-month-olds leaping at and pawing each other.
Andy, who shot the scenes in January in Kenya’s Masai Mara, explains: “It’s rare to see such young cubs out and about, and so fearless in front of the camera. It’s probably how very relaxed the mother is that has dictated this. The cubs were so lovely and playful, even when she moved them from one location to another for safety, they just played constantly.”
