morning

“Dawn breaks over the Mara River, casting a golden glow on a pride of lions emerging from the shadows. These majestic predators are on the hunt, their keen eyes scanning the savanna for a vulnerable meal. While not the fastest of hunters, lions are masters of strategy and stealth. Often, they lie in wait, concealed in the tall grass or behind a bush, patiently observing the movements of their prey. A waterhole, a well-worn zebra path, or a wildebeest migration route become prime hunting grounds. Though most active in the cool hours of dawn and dusk, a lion will seize any opportunity, even braving the midday sun for a successful kill. This tranquil morning scene in the Masai Mara, Kenya, captures the essence of life and death in the African wilderness.”
