Today
I am still showing photographs from Dublin Zoo with my new camera. All the shots of the Asian Lion were taken through
glass as you will see and although there is a facility on the camera to deal
with that, I could not remember where it was quickly enough at the time. I was sorry I had not thought ahead to
discover where this facility was on the camera to see what difference it would
have made to the shots. An opportunity
missed!
This
is the 4 month old Lion cub which you will see what he gets up t on the video at the end of this post.
The
whole family.
I
hope you enjoyed this post. I know I could have edited the glass out however on this occasion I chose not to.
I am sorry the video will not embed on my blog but if you put either of the below into your server, you will not be disappointed.
I know this is a pain but it will be worth it.
However I have found an easier way for you.

Thank you for visiting.
Many thanks for all your comments.
They are wonderful. I hope they get to see a safari park.
ReplyDeleteHI Adrian I know what you are saying but then nowadays they have a greater chance of being hacked down and killed by poachers. It is still big business in these African countries and as I been in quite a number of safari park over the 6 week period and talking to people who know, and try to put a stop to these cruel action, they are really worried if it cannot be stopped, they animals WILL become extinct in the wild. I hate to think of this happening so the generations to come.
DeleteThey could fence off a bit of Salisbury plane or any other defunct military land and just let them loose. Either feed them or pop a few deer in with them. I hate seeing such magnificent animals behind bars.
DeleteLovely photos of a beautiful animal. My daughter and I really enjoyed the video too. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteA Lion's Saturday.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lions. The cub is cute.
ReplyDeleteSuperb Lions, and the baby, all of them are a family.
ReplyDeleteSuperb Lions, and the wee cub, pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the lions and their cute cubs.. Great shots and post.. Thanks for linking up, have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't said so I would never have guessed those pictures were through glass Margaret. They are all super pictures.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to pet lions. They are magnificent creatures. But I know that it wouldn't end well for me :D

Great photos and a wonderful study of the lions in the video, especially cute of the cub. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a very happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the lions Margaret, it's where I head for first whenever I go to the Zoo.. Seriously in nearly all of these images you wouldn't know there was glass there, your camera did a brilliant job! You're right, the video was fab, nice to see a happy family :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful creatures!
ReplyDeleteAsain lions ... who knew? They look just like the African Lions which are magnificent as well. I love how the cub has all ot the instinctual moves of an adult on a hunt and the male makes his rounds marking his territory. Captivity makes me a little sad, but where else are you going to see a fat female lion. Great pictures and video, Margaret.

Beautiful lion shots! I love the cub!
ReplyDeletethe images are wonderful...love that 4 month old cub!! what a treat to see!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lion. Majestic creatures.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, your pictures are excellent.
Happy Sunday.
Greetings:)))
What a special treat, and they are not your ordinary lions! The baby is so cute, but almost at the stage when he won't be. Unusual that the females do the hunting. i think with most animals, the female takes care of the young and the male does the hunting. So they are liberated lions!
ReplyDeletelovely photos, specially nice to see the cub!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the lions! They're gorgeous animals and the cub is so cute. Have a wonderful weekend, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and great cats.
ReplyDeleteI took picture of lions this week too, but not under the same circumstances !

I prefer your pictures ; at least the one you photographied are not behind bars, and have a lot more space to live... (I'm really not a big fan of circus, because of the way animals are usually maltreated in them)
What a beautiful family of lions! Wonderful photos, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteOh, gorgeous creatures ! Excellent photos !
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday :)
Wow, beautiful family and that cub is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteMargaret,
ReplyDeleteLovely set of photos of lions.
