King Of The Kopjes
The king had a really great hair day! This majestic male lion was sleeping on top of the rocks in the heat of the day for a while but the flies kept bothering him. He sat up and started to shake his mane. That's when I captured a long burst of shots to get the movement in that beautiful mane!

About Artist
Zita Quentin
I am a Hungarian born, US based award winning nature and wildlife photographer. I have traveled on five continents to see and photograph big and small wild cats of the world. So far, I have photographed 14 wild cat species and hope to encounter many more in the future. My goal with photography is to raise awareness about endangered species - many of them are cat species - and help with the conservation efforts. I am hoping to capture the beauty of nature and memorable moments spent with wild animals in their environment. I really enjoy photographing animal behavior, interactions and love to find humor while observing animal behavior.
