Action at the Lion Exhibit

Since we have season passes for this park we have come here to hike/walk and see the animals many times since we moved to this area. Every time we walk by the lion exhibit the lion is just sleeping, we can hardly see him and there is not much happening.
But this time the lion was not sleeping and he was almost interacting with us the people watching him. He lion gave us some action! He was right there, not too far. It was amazing to have him so close.

Lots of interaction with the viewers. He was almost looking directly at us many times.

At one point he yawned!
Starting to open his mouth.

Mouth open and tongue out

Mouth fully open. It does not seem big in this picture, but as we were there live in front of him it looked very big and the teeth were huge.

Closing his mouth. Look at those huge teeth!

Mouth close now. He seemed very relax.
It sure was fun watching the lion!
