Elysian Lion

Elysium - In Greek mythology, Elysium was a section of the Underworld . The Elysian fields, or sometimes Elysian plains, were the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. It is associated with the Christian Heaven.

One of five brothers that roam the Sabi Sands plains causing all sorts of trouble. This Lion had just finished a skirmish with a huge male Buffalo. He decided discretion was the better part of valour in this instance. Perhaps not tomorrow?
