Ever seen a lion like this?!

Posted by Michael (Wuppertal, Germany) on 19 March 2008 in Animal & Insect.

Spotted at our local zoo.
There is a kind of den at our zoo. You can walk inside and have a fantastic view out to the lions. When I have been here for the first time I didn't mentioned at once that there was also a window in the ceiling. The lioness sat there and watched the landscape. Incredible view- isn´t it?

Due to my work I am not able to answer your posts at once- but be sure, every of your highly appreciated comments is read! I will always have a look to your pictures at aminus 3- even there might no be a post underneath!

Incredible, no doubt. Before I red your description, i thought she was jumping across the creek and was wondering what would have happened if she jumped inside.

@Sujit Sudhi: Thank you! As I walked in the den I wondered why the people have been looking up to the ceileng...

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Danke sehr, Wolfgang! Ich freue mich schon, wenn endlich wärmer wird. Dann liegt die Löwin fast den ganzen Tag dort und döst...

This is most odd and, like Putter, I so hope that glass holds !

Geil :-) Der bodenlose Sitz scheint ihr nicht viel auszumachen.

Barbara from Florida, United States

This is amazing. A shot of a lifetime. At first it almost appeared to be in the midst of a jump. I wonder what the lions think when they look down and see people.
My answer is No I have never seen a lion like this... but I would like to (see it in person)

@Barbara: Thank you, Barbara!
If they didn't had a breakfast they might think "yum!" ;-)
