Simba-aahhh!
A cheeky lion cub sticks out its tongue in an adorable snap.
It appears as though it is blowing a raspberry at mum.
Two other baby lions bear their tiny teeth in another.
But they have a long way to go to perfect their roars.
A cub goes head-to-head with its fearsome mother in another playful scene.
They resembled Simba in the 1994 Disney film The Lion King
These adorable images were captured by Tapan Sheth, in Sasan Gir, in Gujarat, India.
He used a Canon EOS R6 camera to take them..
“I captured these images with telephoto lenses from a safe distance,” Tapan said.
“I waited for the perfect moment to capture them and took the shots.”
The young cubs will eventually grow to weigh in excess of 420lbs, but for now, they enjoy their small size.
Fan Heidi said: “Bravo, you’re doing it very well.”
“Beautiful sir,” said Rathan.
Nikhil commented “Too good brother.”
