Story / Additional InfoLions of varying ages and sexes make up this pride of wanderers in Ngorongoro Crater. This group includes the smallest of cubs, born within the year, who have learned the value of sticking together and keeping up with the mothers and aunties of the group. Older males are not tolerated by the pride, as males of reproductive age may kill the young cubs to induce estrus in the females. Once the youngsters of this group grow up, the males will be cast off to establish home territories of their own, while the sisters will stick together with their female relations, reinforcing the security of the pride for generations of newborn cubs to come.

Thomas Mangelsen - United States

Art Brokerage: Thomas D. Mangelsen American Photographer: Thomas D. Mangelsen spent his formative years along the banks of the Platte River hunting and fishing, Tom Mangelsen's understanding of the natural world stems from a childhood rich in outdoor adventures. Tom grew up exploring the Nebraska landscape with his brothers Bill, David, and Hal, many times at their father Harold's side. Handcrafting his first frames with David in their garage, Tom bucked convention of what was traditionally considered "art" and opened his first gallery in Jackson, Wyoming in 1978, featuring signed, limited edition prints in the tradition of wildlife artists such as Owen Gromme, an early mentor. Garnering attention from early collectors led to more exhibitions; his work is now offered in sixteen Images of Nature galleries across the United States. Tom's accolades and critical acclaim range from being named BBC's "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" in 1994 and the North American Nature Photographer's "Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year" in 2000, to the recipient of a Royal Photographic Society Honorary Fellowship in 2002. In 2005, he was named "One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography" by American Photo Magazine, one of only two wildlife-environmental photographers selected for the list. Tom's photography has also been published in leading magazines such as Audubon, National Geographic, Life, Wildlife Art and National Wildlife and featured on television programs from The Today Show and Good Morning America, to CNN's World News and ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
