The Story behind the Shot:
It was a cold morning in Masai Mara. Lions roared loudly throughout the night, as if right outside our tent... We left camp before sunrise, and within 5 minutes, we were treated with a pride of lions on a small hill - two male lions, "Earless" and "Osahabu", and a few females. After taking a few close up shots of them, they started roaring again. Due to the cold air outside, the condensation that came out of their mouth was very clear and visible, that it truly looked as if they were smoking.
Photographed in Maasai Mara, Kenya, July 2019.
