Title: Born Free by Ben Stevenson

This lion has an air of power and confidence as he surveys his territory. Lions are one of Africa’s apex land predators and have forever been a symbol of strength, power and ferocity. African lions are the most social of all big cats and live together in groups or ‘prides’ of about 15 lions. The male holds and defends their territory while the females hunt. This beautiful creature is also known as ‘king of the jungle’ and his shaggy mane is iconic. I am impressed by the confidence in the look of this lion as well as the beauty. Not all lions are born free but all deserve freedom.
