This touching photograph by Joren de Jager shows a young lion cub clinging protectively and curiously to the back of an older lion, probably a mother or a member of the pride. The intense look in his eyes exudes a combination of innocence and determination, while the soft texture of his fur contrasts beautifully with the rougher background. The subtle golden tones and blurred surroundings enhance the focus on the animal, drawing the viewer into the serene yet powerful world of the African wilderness.
