#082 - Toward the Throne

Serengeti, Tanzania - 2024 
 
This male lion, a pride leader, climbs the hill with steady, confident steps. His eyes are locked on the path ahead, fully focused on the climb. With each step, his strength and presence seem to grow, like he knows exactly where he belongs. His mane catches the breeze, a striking reminder of the power he carries as he makes his way toward the top.
 
But it’s more than just his own journey—he carries the future of his pride and his species on his shoulders. Every step is a promise to protect and lead, to ensure the survival of those who depend on him. As he reaches the summit, it’s clear he’s not just climbing a hill—he’s stepping into his role as the king he was born to be.
