This large male lion (simba in Swahili) is a member of a pride of 9 lions (2 males, 3 females, and 4 cubs). The pride had killed 2 zebras before sunrise on the Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa. The 2 male lions ate one and the females and cubs ate the other. Here, the male had finished, and walked to a small muddy water hole for a drink. After his drink, he stood up to look back at the pride.
