It's been a long night

and this one was getting very tired again, it ended in a huge yawn

[Brian]

Magnificent capture of the 'king'

[Babs]

I think they sleep about 21 hours a day so he shouldn't be tired should he

[Kathy A]

Great capture

[Casablanca]

Licking the lips too......just had supper maybe

[Issi Bannerman]

He does look a bit tired. Maybe a lot of hunting going on!

[Valerie Chesney]

Magnificent animal.
Sleepy or just finished his meal..

[Bec]

Wow! Great shot - rather large teeth!

[Joan Robillard]

Better a yawn then a decision to attack.

[Susan Wakely]

Those hunches look like they could spring into life at anytime.
