I have spent entire afternoons watching lions do nothing in particular. They sleep, shift their weight, open one eye. There is no performance in it. Just presence — theirs and, eventually, mine. A century ago, more than 200,000 lions roamed this continent. Fewer than 20,000 remain. I think about that in the silence between one breath and the next. #wildlifefineart #forthewild #lions #lionconservation #biglife
