This year’s cover model likes prowling, preening, and spending time with her athletic beau, Johan. She’s also committed to educating others in order to improve the global understanding and treatment of, as well as contributing to the preservation of humans and their habitats.
She’s ambitious, Courtney S. *Photo taken in South Africa*

I am loving all the little whorls in her fur. Sigh.
First job: Cub reporter
Ambition: Den mother
I know it’s not legitimate, but I want this cub! The belleh, the eyelashes, and if you look at it upside down the paw across her mouth gives a little “tee hee” look to her face. She is beautiful!
Such a darling…. and we all know she is for “Whirled Peas”!
Did someone mention Jamin…?
The camera loves you, baby. Work it! Gimme a little coy look. That’s it!!
PPS: EXCELLENT belleh.
Thumb-sucking, cub? Where can I get one? Harrod’s, you say? I think that sale was over 40 years ago.
I am getting in the line to snorgle that belleh!!!
Whose Lion Is It Anyway?
TINEEEEEE TABBEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The lovely Jamin:

Wouldn’t it be sweet if Jamin adopted this babeh too? Actually, Jamin needs to adopt ME. ME, I tell ya.
I love that big cats have ‘zippers’ on their belleh too.
As well as whirled peas, she’d ike to see a chicken on evey table, or in her case an Antelope
More cuteness at http://www.capemayzoo.org .. new cubs looking for a name.. SO cute!
@260Oakley: Don’t you mean Whose Lion is it, Anyway?
And of course, her favorite football team is: The Green Bay Packers.
So lovely, and so kind of her to think of us poor, misunderstood humans.
Alternative comment: kitteh’s so cute I wanna snorgle her belleh!!
EYELASHES!!! Beautiful almond eyes! My God, actresses will soon be asking their plastic surgeons to give them this look.
She is absolutely beautiful! I love the little round ears!
Simpleh gawgeous!
*frantically looks left and right*
Jamin is here? Where? Did someone say Jamin?
Underage nude modeling? Scandalous!
I hear her and Johan are just together as a publicity stunt. He’s secretly dating Brad Pitt.

Oh the eyelashes!
what use do lions have for such long eye lashes? just like what use do boys have for long eye lashes? why can’t i have long eye lashes?
Lion cub combining Rule 41 and Rule 35 just did me in. *thud*
She looks snorgly soft, but I know from experience that her fur is actually quite coarse.
Love the hover text!!
Bee-YOO-tee-fuhl!!!!!!
Isn´t she a bit young to wear that black mascara? Tsk. The youth of today, ey?!
OMG. Someone please tell me that those darling little eyelash-like shadows/marks/tricks of light around her eyes aren’t Photoshopped and that she really is that girly and adowabow. <3
where’s jamin when you need him?!
Love, love, LOOOOOOOVE her! WANT!!! Want! WAAAAAAANT!
LOL Can’t you just hear her eyes going Plink Plink!
AWW
May you have a long and happy life, little lion cub 
Speaking as a Librariologist, I can affirm the Qte factor. However what I *MOST* enjoy here is that the acronym for the alleged publication Serengeti Illustrated, would WORK, to stand in for the referenced fold-out swimsuit publication,
Sports, Illustrated.
Yes, I “yam” a Geek. But I studied many days in many classrooms so I am fully qualified in my Geekiness. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
