michali Posted October 21, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tree-climbing Lions near Mila Tented Camp n. Serengeti, Tanzania- a rare sight. Lions, mainly because of their weight, are not physically adapted to climbing trees. This is highly unusual behaviour & seen in Lion prides found mainly in some parts of East Africa. Experts say it's to avoid heat & insects on the ground; it also provides an excellent vantage point from which to observe the movement of prey across the savannah. SL2-S & Sigma 60-600mm -This has become my go to lens on safari, extremely versatile, albeit heavy. (please click on. image for better res.) Welcome, dear visitor!

fotografr Posted October 21, 2023 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2023 Terrific shot of a beautiful preditor. She looks peaceful and content. I assume your lens was set at the 600mm focal length 😉. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
