Photographer Immortalizes The King Of Animals In His 30 Incredible Photos
Interview With Artist
Los Angeles-based British photographer Simon Needham opens up a stunning world of wildlife for us to enjoy from up close. The highlight of his work is the awe-inspiring portraits of lions from different angles that show their beauty and powerful presence. But most importantly, he shows the importance of these magnificent creatures as they are becoming a threatened species with only about 20,000 left in the wild.
The majestic animals that were once kings of the jungle are quietly disappearing at the hands of humans. There are half as many African lions as there were 25 years ago and they have made it into the list of species vulnerable to extinction, leaving it up to wildlife conservation organizations to determine their fate.
In case you needed a reminder of why lions rule the animal kingdom, dive into the incredible gallery of Needham's photos, and don't miss our interview with the photographer below!

Spent a little time in Africa. From what I saw the males did little apart from lounge. Sure they were ready to defend the pride but the females did the bulk of the work (hunting, keeping watch, looking after the young etc)

Yeah, however impressive looking, and I love all cats, male lions are the mostly the useless bums of animals. They get to lounge around most of the time, and after the females get supper, they eat first. Meh.
