First Time I Seen A Lion In Real Life - Original Photography

Original Photography

I like to explore and travel often and take photos when I see a moment or something that catches my eye. This lion was and is so beautiful :) These photos were taken while visiting a zoo in British Columbia Canada.

Lions face threats from hunting, habitat loss and even diseases that can be spread from domestic dogs from nearby villages...

African lions are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species. Their current population is estimated at 30,000 to 100,000. The population has been almost cut in half in the past two decades because of retaliatory killings by farmers, as well as from trophy hunting and habitat loss.
