just lion around

I went to the zoo today, and took hundreds of pictures, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Now I think I overdid it and will need to lie around tomorrow to recover. But it was so worth it!!
Here is Aslan, one of the African lions. I was so excited to get so close without a glass barrier - yay, for zoom lenses. In extras is his brother fully stretched out in the sun. He pranced out into the enclosure, roaring to let us know he had arrived, and the air was so cold that you could see his breath! Unfortunately, I was unable to capture that with the camera.
The other extra is of one of our Mountain Lions. He was snoozing when we arrived, but I was glad to catch him with his eyes wide open.
