I saw on the local news that the newborn baby lion would be making it's first public appearance between 10:30 A.M. and 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday at the Denver Zoo, and made sure I was there to record the event. It is not an easy thing to take photographs of these newborn creatures, considering that 20,000 people have the same idea and wind up in front of you when you get there. But nonetheless, I was able to get some photos of this baby, seen in the photograph on the left trying to figure out what that large cylindrical object was in front of it. No doubt from some giant's soccer match.
This baby lion is still entirely dependent on it's mother, and evidence of that can be seen in the photograph on the right. This little baby has no conception of what she or he is seeing, and it is fun to see it trying to figure out what all these new things are. It is so sad that we all can't keep that same sense of wonder as we grow older. I think it would help us all to be much happier. Although as columnist and author Dave Barry has famously said, beer is much faster.
