These two ladies were lounging in the MGM Grand Hotel Lion Habitat in spite of all the tourists gaping at them. Lions sleep 18-20 hours a day and this was part of their nap time. I think the trainers, who were also lounging in the enclosure with them (but fully awake) have to wake them up soon. Somewhere I read they rotate the cats out every five hours. The lionesses can't smell or hear any of the tourists and the temp and humidity inside the habitat is ideal for them. Life o' Riley, I say. Photo came out pretty well considering it was through glass.
I will be slowing down on Las Vegas trip photos soon, I promise. There was just so much going on. Had a great time in two short days.
I love big cats (ok, I love all cats!). That's a nice shot of her contented, sleeping face.
ReplyDeleteyou caught the softer side of these big cats
ReplyDeleteAdorable with the two big cats cuddled up together! A great catch.
ReplyDeleteMy cat sleeps 20-22 hours a day, they are real active.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you just love to get down and roll around with them, providing they wouldn't rip your head off?
ReplyDeleteI wanna be a lion..........
ReplyDeleteSo do the people who wake them up have a big cup of coffee ready for them? They seem quite content to lie were they are.
ReplyDeleteTruly the life of Riley! It looks like you had a great time in Vegas!
ReplyDeleteoh, boy, it's so beautiful, they are lying there ar if they had worked very hard for hours and hours!
