'Intensity'

Sold


Like all cats, lions are models of concentration when they are stalking. I watched my cat Spencer behaving just like this the other day when he was trying to catch a Bank Vole! They gaze intently at their prey, never looking away, whilst taking infinite care not make a rustle with their paws.

Lionesses usually hunt at dusk apparently, and this young lady was stalking Wildebeest in the gloom on the Masai Mara. There had been a fire so she was ghostly pale against the blackened grassland.
