Dad, I already got the “Circle of Life” talk in Biology class.

But I appreciate the thought.

    Lion nugget! Has such a dis-approving face for a little munchkin.

      He’s all like: “Dad, you made me get up at the crack of dawn for this? I’m totally going back to bed…” (or maybe that’s just what I’m thinking…)

    What a beautiful and serendipitous pic! I love lioninos. No wonder they call it a “pride.”

    Also non-Disney version:
    Simba: Someday [tosses shampoo-commercial mane], little Ersatz9und3, all this will be yours.
    Ersatz9und3: I’ll shave it into a hyena mohawk, get giraffe-spot tattooes and go to film school.

    Now that is rock star hair.

  8. Fird Birfle says:

    wow.

    Simba took Advanced Biology, pretty YOUNG, there !!!

    He looks like he should still be in Swingset 101.

    Now I’m hearing “the Circle of Life” in my head. Well that’s not a bad thing. Amazing photo.

      The worst is when your college roommate points out to you that the background voices sound like they’re singing, “Once I had a penguin in a bottle,” and you still hear it that way years and years later…

  10. No. F*******. Way. That is awesome!

  11. Teresa says:

    WOW :D That is one small lion cub compared to his/her father :D

  12. Lisa says:

    We’ve seen this picture posted before, and I believe we got a CUB-HANCE last time… ;)

  13. Mary (the first) says:

    Really gorgeous!

  14. Gigi says:

    CUB-HANCE PLEASE!

    Dad: Just basically an embarassing guy. His dad embarassed him, and he will embarass you. In time, your turn will come. “The ciiiiiiiiiiiiiircle, the circle of life!!¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪”

  16. Gigi says:

    OK dad, I get it, the circle of life. Yeah, yeah right. I’ll sing it with you, but please leave the damn baboon out of it OK?

  17. Casey says:

    I wonder what the story is with this. That cub looks too young to have been introduced to the pride yet.

    • The Original Jane says:

      That’s what I was thinking too. Pretty tiny to be away from mom and/or alone with dad.

  18. Emmylee says:

    Bwahahahaha LOVE the hovertext NOMTOM :) ….and too adorable awwwww.

  19. JAB says:

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this shot! Even the cub has a majesty about him/her that befits the species.

  20. Queen of Dork says:

    This photo is astoundingly BEAUTIFUL! WOW! This photo has just become my new background on my monitor. Stunning!! I love it!

  21. TrixieValentine says:

    lovin’ the hovertext and the fact that nobody’s bitched about it yet!
