Lion
From Nature's Best Photography
In order to join other lions tracking a herd of buffalo, this lion needed to cross a treacherous crocodile-infested river. I had the good fortune of having my 600mm lens trained on the lion’s eye as she exploded into a run, splashing through the shallow river. My companions and I huddled motionless as the lion came right toward us—then passed by.
