African fauna

As always, great photos! The Mojo lion doesn't seem too impressed or in too much of a hurry.

another dramatic story Alain! great photography and models, and angles

I hope the lion gets some respite.

Naturally, the focus are your photographing skills and how you translate it into a story. though, as a collector, I must say your pictures also show that this last generation of lion figures is really good. We hardly couldn't find a good lion at this scale 10 years ago and now they're noble, beautiful and realistic.

Thank you Rogério!

These three lions are the ones I prefer but there is another one from Schleich I could have used if its mane was not so blond to compare with the ones of the three others:

..and I don't forget the Mojo one is a gift from you!

 Many thanks to you both Andreas and Taylor!

You're welcome Alain, it gives me joy knowing that lion is being loved, I wished I could do it more often and I'm also very pleased with your gifts.
That 2008 Schleich liion is the best Schleich ever did although I think it is a step below those you photographed. Though, it is undoubtfully a very decent figure.

Good things come to those who wait for!

 THE END

 (baboons from Bullyland (mother and baby) and Schleich, leopard from Papo)

I suspect you watched those famous documentaries about leopards and baboons and it served as inspiration for one more exciting set of pictures. Baboons are more powerful and dangerous than we often think.

yes baboons indeed have very big fangs! - scarier than trained alsatians!

Love these!!

 I saw some documentaries about baboons and leopards and even saw how some strong males could make these latters flee! But they also are preys sometimes.. Anyway, I could not let this poor tomcat always to fail and as I recently received this Baboon mom and baby, I had my little story..
