A wildlife photographer has captured a scene that looks as if it could have come from The Lion King.

He explains: "In the heart of Olare Conservancy in Kenya, it was a fairly grey afternoon and a lion pride had slept most of the day - not unusual for lions.

"Later on the youngsters got lively and expected the same from the adults but they were still sleepy.

"Before too long they started playing on a termite mound but after a few moments the alpha started roaring. Loud."
