Without a doubt there is one Cat that is the King of the Jungle, or plains, or forest or.. you get the idea.

We saw many Lions on our adventure, a lot were sleeping, a fair amount were eating, most were quite well fed! We even saw some that seemed to almost make sport out of taking down Cape Buffalo! I won't be posting any kills or real gore for a while, suffice to say we did witness some of what polite society would call extreme gore but it's all part of life if you are a predator feeding on large prey.

Here are some tighter shots to start out with, there will be feeding and Lion-scapes coming at some point

Wow I really like all of these Tim. The first for the intense look. The second for the great head turn. The third for the lick. The fourth is a great satisfied/bloody pose. And the fifth is a great portrait.

What, were you afraid to walk up and move that blade of grass in the last one It's my fav for the look in those eyes

I keep trying to put myself in your place and envision these opportunities, I get goosebumps and the hair is standing up on my neck
Sure looks like the 500 works well with the 2xTC!

Nice encounters Tim, very up close and personal!

Beautiful all around, Tim! #1 is not a look that I want to see if I'm standing in front of him because I'd be afraid that #4 would be how he'd look after he was done with me!

Great shots Tim!!

I believe I recall you not being a fan of extenders.
Does the version II change this for you?

Yes, lots of sleep and rest for the massive expenditure of energy required for catching and killing their prey. You've captured their terrible beauty and fearsomeness even in these seemingly tranquil moments. Well done!

Great images and a great diversity of moods, Tim! My favorite is #3 (Mmmm).

Scrolled through the exifs once or twice to make sure you weren't using a 24-70!

Look forward to some lionscapes.

Absolutely stunning set Tim !!! Like them all for the very same reasons as Geoff mentioned
The last has to be my favorite for those eyes, and that look.

Brilliant Tim. That combo of the 500 plus 2 X TC looks very good. I am presuming these were shot from a vehicle If so, how did it work with any other photographers in the truck? Space must be tight.

Great looking shots Tim..love the look in #3...I'm guessing that's not Rudolph in the next one.
Interesting story in this months Nat. Geo about a woman on safari in Tanzania on how a lion decided to fall asleep against the tent she was sleeping in, trapping her hand underneath him, so she ended up having to fall asleep like that, afraid any movement might wake him up.
