You rock lion! Draw the line.

 

Interesting the tripod mount is upside down.

 

Touron.

 

While not Africa, there are definitely touron’s here. It’s sad than some will do anything to take a picture. Tough lesson to learn. This may help her cut down on taking selfies.I wonder if the picture came out?🤔

 

"I never met a man I didn't like". Burp!

 

It's bad enough that you can't get a license for tourist season, but it really chaps me that there isn't a bounty on tourons.

 

Trying being in Arizona. We got so many snowbirds and they won't let us hunt them.

 

I heard there are only three rangers left in Yellowstone. Should be an interesting Bison petting season!

 

I've looked at OP photo for 3 days now and while I was not there and regardless of the possible naivete of the photographer, so I don't know the situation, I can't help but feel for the possible loss of a Canon 7D body and an L series Canon lens. They weren't cheap.

 

Part of me wants to say photo shopped.

 

I'm tempted, too... but if so it's a really good job. Note how the whiskers wrap around the lens, the lighting matches perfectly, etc. So in the end I believe it's real.

Plus, there's the story: Lioness Steals Wildlife Photographer’s Camera, Cubs Use It as a Toy

 

I'm reminded of the story about a poacher, where only the rifle and a belt buckle, possibly some other things, were found. Lion country.
