A lion gets a slap around the ear from a lioness after he disciplined their two-month-old cub in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. British photographer Elliott Neep, from Wantage, Oxon, said: “The young cub had been sunbathing with his mother, brother and sister when they were disturbed by their dad. He came up and nuzzled them but the cub snarled and the dad took exception to it and dispensed his own form of discipline with a loud growl. It was like he was telling him: ‘Don’t snarl at me.’ The mum came over and slapped the dad with her claws out, leaving a scratch. He retaliated and slapped back but kept his claws sheathed.”
