Happy National Wildlife Day! Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Regal Bearing” By Bob Faucher. Location: Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana.

“A young male lion resting on an old, unused termite mound in the savannah early in the morning strikes a pose consistent with his position in the hierarchy,” says Faucher.
