Robert Irwin, the 16-year-old son of Australia’s much-loved and missed “Crocodile Hunter,” Steve Irwin, recently produced a spectacular black-and-white photo of a happy-looking “big, beautiful male lion,” which he took in South Africa and posted on Twitter on March 6, 2020.
Irwin, an award-winning wildlife photographer, described capturing the lion just waking up from a nap as a light rain began to fall in Balule Nature Reserve. “Looking closely, you can see the little rain droplets falling around him as he happily soaks it all in,” the young naturalist explains on the Irwin-family-owned Australia Zoo website.
