It looks more like a game than a triumph, it’s more a whim of supremacy than a natural act dictated by the necessity of seeking for food. The lioness keeps her prey still with her front paws, stretching her muzzle, is a masterpiece of realism in portraying the feline attitude of sliding above the prey, leaving the back paws raised and tense, ready for a new spring.
