African Lion Resting in Dry Savanna

An adult African lion (Panthera leo) resting on open savanna during daylight in its natural habitat. As Africa's largest big cat, the lion is an apex predator and a symbol of the continent's wilderness, spending much of the day conserving energy before hunting at dusk or during the night.
