EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, Tamara the lioness fiercely roars at visitors while tenderly feeding her two-day old cub at their enclosure in Jordans Zoo near Amman. The intensity of her gaze and the power behind her roar are a testament to the protective instincts that come naturally to these magnificent creatures. The image captures a beautiful moment between mother and child, showcasing the raw beauty of nature's bond. As Tamara nourishes her newborn cub, she simultaneously asserts her dominance and guards against any potential threats from onlookers. Her maternal instinct is palpable as she ensures the safety and well-being of her vulnerable offspring. The photographer, Ali Jarekji, skillfully freezes this awe-inspiring scene in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the strength and majesty of these incredible animals. The contrast between Tamara's fierce expression and the delicate presence of her tiny cub creates a visually striking composition that evokes both admiration and respect for these apex predators. This photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species like lions whose populations continue to decline due to habitat loss and human activities. It also highlights the importance of conservation efforts aimed at preserving their natural habitats so future generations can marvel at moments like this one captured by Ali Jarekji.
