One more from my recent visit to this sanctuary, they only provide a home for the animals to live after coming from different situations.
This beautiful lion is named Mufasa, and here is some information on this handsome fellow.
Mufasa joined Black Pine's family in June 2011. He was ordered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to be moved due to concerns of escape from a cage that needed repairs. Mufasa's home at Black Pine is his third, having been born in captivity and kept as a pet, then rescued and housed at the facility that became too dilapidated to keep him safely. He has endured at least three surgeries over the years to address issues with teeth and bones in his jaw, riddled with infection for many years. These kinds of ailments, which can be treated by veterinarians, would result in certain death for a wild lion.
I used the 40D/70-300 Is USM lens combo, and shot through fencing.
Thank you for commenting.

Excellent Close Up indeed Sandi. The Clarity and Detail of the Lion is Spot On. What Aperture did you use on this ?

I am so glad he's found a safe home and is receiving the health care he needs .
Beautiful lighting and details in this, Sandi .

Live Life ... like someone left the gate open .

He shows what I meant while commenting on your "unhappy" or indifferent ape portrait. He is better off now and will live happier, longer and healthier life [happier in consideration of the fact that he was born in captivity]. HOWGH.
I love happy endings!
Thanks for the DT for the days of doubts which may come too...:)

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Great close-up of King, Sandi! What a tender look in his eye, must be contentment finally being home, well cared for and fed.(I assume he's there for good)
A Fave and Save for me!

Makes me think of our late John the Lion, Tigz.
I like the stately pose he gave you. You took full advantage.
Well done.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.
He looks to be looking up to the heavens and thankful for his current home. Excellent Sandi.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
I agree with Doug. This lion seem to be looking up and being thankful to his Maker for being alive and cared for. That is a great composition Sandi.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Mufasa, with his face to the sun, looks very thankful. I'm glad he is well taken care of. Perfect lighting and clarity.
