This lioness was watching gazelle through the gap under my vehicle as they passed far behind

Terrific shot, Bryan. He really seems totally focused. Amazing that he looked through a gap under your vehicle, totally ignoring the vehicle and you in it.

Looks like a lion with a plan! I was looking at those thingies on his face and then realised they're flies. I wonder if they help keep his nose and eyes clean?

Mostly they hang around for salt which is a rare commodity in the savanna
