A series of amazing pictures perfectly capture the moment a lion lays out in front of a rainbow.
Wildlife photographer Kevin Dooley, 60, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, took these pictures whilst visiting the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.
According to Kevin, a male lion was enjoying the cool weather and the rainstorm whilst a rainbow formed just behind him.
“He looked to the rainbow as if he was enjoying its beauty,” Kevin said
During his visit, Kevin stayed with the lions for approximately one hour.
“I spend hours patiently awaiting special moments when photographing wildlife,” Kevin said. “When this rainbow appeared, I knew it was a very special moment and probably a once-in-a-lifetime sighting.”
He is also a qualified South Africa Field Guide, which enables him to teach wildlife lessons as well as photography.
