The Lion King and His Little Cub

Tall green grass tickles the paws of a grand lion and his young son. The father’s thick, rumpled mane spreads like a sunburst, and his deep eyes stay watchful over the open savanna. The cub stands close by, his ears perked and face full of wonder, ready to explore or tumble in the soft grass. Behind them, flat-topped trees stretch their branches beneath a big, open sky, hinting at all the space two lions need for their adventures together.

The lion’s tail swings behind him while the cub’s tiny tail curls up in the grass. Sunlight might warm their fur, and a gentle breeze would ruffle it if you could feel it. Every line carries a bit of the wild — from the proud stance of the father to the curious blink of the cub. These two bring the spirit of the African plain to life, just waiting for splashes of color and a story.

Fun Fact!

Lionesses often hunt in a coordinated fan shape to drive prey towards other hidden members of the hunting party.
