Artist's Comments

Found this young lion cub away from the pride, doing its part to get the glass a bit cleaner by licking all over and wiping it off... However, it was another one of those good intensions but bad ideas.

For those of you that wonder, this kind of dirty window is basically what I have to shoot through when visiting zoos... just have to find the cleanest spots and you're in business!

Haha, cute! :D

It's weird to see lions behind glass :p Here in the Antwerp Zoo, they sit outside all the time so you can see them well from behind a fence.

Aaaaaw, he's adorable. I love your lion shots, they are my faves (though I guess that's because I like lions too much)

This is so adorable! I would have loved to be there and see it myself.
It must have seen a human wash the glass sometime and was probably imitating it, though we can probably never know for sure :lol:
