African Lioness (Panthera leo) with cub. Lion cubs are very dependent on family for many months and although the lioness is very aware of antelope around her, any ability to hunt them is severely limited by the presence of a boisterous and undisciplined cub. The pride system allows lionesses to leave offspring with trusted family members whilst they hunt

Three African Bull Elephants (Loxodonta africana). Watching these three progress across the grasslands beside the River Nile in Northern Uganda, it was easy to reflect on the timeless nature of the scene - other than that across the river here lies the DRC, where Elephants are regularly killed by rebels for ivory to finance their fighting. There are few large tusked Elephants remaining in this region.
