Many of these shots were taken in horrible low light and poor contrast situations. Some of the shots are marginally focused and often blurred with motion. However to sit and watch the cubs for 2 hours was simply amazing. While many of the shots do not meet my normal standards for posting here, the sequences are too good to not upload. Please enjoy them as I have done in both taking them and viewing them again.

What is a bit interesting is the Sparta girls and their cubs were about 50 meters (150 feet) from 9 members of the Southern pride. When we first came upon them, they were both on their own buffalo kills. Normally the cubs would be hugely at risk, however the Sparta girls kept an eye on the Southern pride and did not move the cubs as many of us expected.
