"Lions of ARTIS"

The majestic African lion (Panthera leo) is a legendary creature, heralded throughout human history for its fearsome power and courage, and is often connected with bravery, loyalty and strength. These beautiful cats reach a length of 4-6 feet, with the tail adding another 2-4 feet, and weigh in at 300-400 pounds. Today, these magnificent animals are a highly threatened species and very near being listed as endangered.

Taken at the Amsterdam Artis Royal Zoo, this photograph suspends time in a stunning capture of action and attitude. This memorable photo paints a picture as alive and vivid as if we had participated in the original moment.

The one on the left is saying "Go get me some ice cream!", and the one on the right is saying "I heard you the first time!" :p Seriously, though... fantastic work.
