Cats

“Lions are iconic animals, symbolizing so much to so many people around the world. Both past and present civilizations have immortalized the spirit of the lion and it has become a symbol of the admirable traits we humans embrace.  I have had the privilege of seeing over five hundred in the wild over the last forty trips to Africa, and have come to know the severe threats facing the cats outside of the protected areas, and the people who have dedicated their lives to studying them and fostering their protection.” –John Banovich
