I Make Children Cry

Description

Another shot of Suba the lion from Colchester zoo. I wish I had more light on this day, then this would be a much better shot... hated shooting at ISO 800. ah well =)

The title for this shot is in tribute to the two under 5s that came to see Suba and reacted to his impressive presence by hysterically crying in fear. Their mother consolled them with hugs and the reassurance that 'he's not roaring, its ok!'

Of course Suba then started roaring very loudly, cue even more hysterical childern... me and my brother just had to run away so we could crack up without offending anyone :giggle:

**SAD NEWS**
Suba was sadly put to sleep in early April 2010 due to his decilining health. He will be greatly missed, and he was one of my long time favourites at the zoo.

Captured at the right time he seems as focused on you as you are on him, only he's probably thinking "lunch".
The eyes in this photo are so intense almost hypnotic.

How far away were you from his royal highness?
