[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Group of lions were laying by the road at Serengeti plains.

If suitable prey is available, lions eat every 3 to 4 days, but can go without food for more than a week. They average about 5 to 7kgs meat daily, but can consume about 25% of their body mass if necessary. An adult lion will kill in the region of 15 animals per year. The norm is for African Lions to kill only enough to sustain themselves, but they have been known to kill excessively in the case of prey animals that are weak or young lions that go beserk.

Lenka,
Very brave of you post this one, I love it. Very interest POV. That's just the way it was, and you were in the right spot. A big smile for that.
Technically all if fine, I won't talk about composition or position here. Thanks for making me laugh, I have simlar from the side not the back.

Wow. Very humurous shot! I have never seen this pose of lions. Compliments on making such a popular creature appear in a new light. Good low pov also.
