The photographer was able to capture the once in a lifetime moment as a lioness and eight cubs stare directly into the lens of her camera. Since the 1960s, the world population of lions has dropped by a staggering 70 per cent, due largely to habitat loss and encroachment by humans.

The Serengeti national park, home to the lions, extends to roughly 12,000 square miles. Serengeti is derived from the Maasai language and means 'Endless Plains'.
