Fearless in the Face of Danger

Taken at the Akron Zoo - Akron, OH

When the lioness saw this little girl at the glass, she came from the back of the enclosure right up to the glass as you see here. At first the girl was oblivious until her father and I told her to turn around. She was absolutely fearless as this lioness stared at her with avid interest and it was so cute.

Evidently lions really get interested in red or pink objects as the lioness tried watching her through some chain link around the corner until the little girl was gone.
