The King

The King
NCAR12D-156

Another image for Beast Week today on Wandering Lens.  Returning to the Conservator's Center,  this regal lion male was making a loud howling, chuffing noise.  It reverberated throughout the whole center, and was described as a way for the pride to keep track of each other and coordinate movements.  While it was not a full-on roar, the noise was very loud, intimidating, and awe-inspiring.  It showed why these guys are labeled 'kings of the jungle.'  Enjoy.
