Very old and malnutritioned lioness. Marks and scars of battles won and lost were very evident.

Hi Eddie,
Very nice shot. Details perfectly captured despite the difficult bright light behind.
The lioness must have been in desperate need of food indeed. I guess any lion can kill a porcupine. They choose not to do so as they can't do it without getting nasty wounds from the spikes.
The only need I could think of about this pic is that we can't see the porcupine. If you do have a shot where the porcupines shows but that you didn't post because of lower quality it would still be very informative to post it as workshop.
Thanks for sharing this unusual scene.
