One of the lionesses in the small pride at Paradise Valley Springs, Rotorua. They were all feeling the heat and were sleeping apart from the short time in the afternoon when they were fed. Made me think of the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
When I was researching it, it turns out to be one of the most contentious songs. The original song is now credited to Solomon Linda who wrote "Mbube" (Zulu for "Lion") in 1939: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrrQT4WkbNE
The version I can remember from my youth was Tight Fit's "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", recorded in 1982: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRv4cdZxTdQ
Warning: don't watch the video - you'll get an earworm, lol!
Sorry for mass upload - playing catchup after a few days away at Rotorua.
