2018-04-10: WPC – Smile

The photo prompt of the week is smile; either an image of a smile, or something that makes you smile. Since baby animals are a universal crowd pleaser, here are a fewer images of youngsters that have made me smile.

I hope you enjoy!

20170512-DSC_4861 — A trio of cheetah cubs braving a late afternoon windstorm. Their mother was nearby, definitely ill at ease because of the weather.

20170514-DSC_5619 — Looks at the big full bellies of these lion cubs. They were going back and forth between the females, greeting each with affection.

20170516-DSC_7766 — A pair of leopard cubs playing amongst the fallen branches in a ravine. These two were all over the place; there Mom definitely had her work cut out for her.

20170516-DSC_6755 copy — The tiniest lion cubs I have had the privilege of seeing. Their Mom had brought down a giraffe calf, but these two were more interested in playing than feeding. They were under 3 weeks old.

20170516-DSC_7263 — An elephant calf having a go at the balance beam 🙂 He came pretty close to ending up in a heap on the ground, but recovered from it well.

20170517-DSC_8340 — I don’t think I have ever seen anyone smiling as much as our ranger when we were at this sighting. To say he was thrilled is a complete understatement. A dream come true, once in a lifetime moment on safari.

20170517-DSC_8560 copy — This is where mama leopard stashed her two youngsters. The hollowed log didn’t make for the best photo opportunities, but it did make for a very safe spot for these leopard cubs to stay hidden and out of danger.
