Mother’s Day? They still won’t let me have a lion-in . . .
IT’S a fate mums everywhere will hope to escape today – a blissful Mother’s Day lie-in ruined by the boisterous behaviour of her youngsters.
Despite this lioness wanting just a little bit more snooze time, three feisty cubs clearly had other ideas. Try as she might to keep her eyes shut, she finally raised them to the heavens in quiet despair, thanks to her rude awakening.
This glimpse of family life was captured by photographer Ingo Gerlach during a trip to Kenya’s Masai Mara. He said: ‘It was hilarious to see the lioness’s eyes turn to heaven like her human counterparts will no doubt be doing this morning.’
