Source: ‘I have been taking wildlife photos for over 20 years, but this has got to be my special moment,’ said Mr Dolpire.

‘I needed to work fast as you just do not know when they will move or just flop down and go to sleep. ‘This was just a unique, special moment. No one has ever seen or recorded such a special moment or possibly ever will.’

But why did you post it in 636x372? It's like posting a 144p video.

And metro forces you to accept cookies for personalised ads or pay to deny. Don't post shit like this here, at least add a link to get past that.

He does have his own website but it's sadly down because of exceeded bandwidth limit, so I'll try to get in contact with him to see if he'll be able to fix it. In the meantime here's a better link: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photo-of-the-day/photo/resting-lions-tanzania
