He is one of the world's most dangerous predators. But meeting his newborn cub for the first time, this fearsome lion appears as gentle as a tabby cat.
The heartwarming first encounter between the adorable lion cub and his father was captured on camera in a series of stunning images.
At first the seven-week old cub appeared nervous as he approached his father, but the youngster quickly forgot his initial shyness and began playfully scratching and biting the adult lion, before appearing to reach up and plant a kiss on his head
Photographer Suzi Eszterhas spent months tracking the pride of lions on the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in order to capture the touching first meeting between father and son.
After catching sight of the newborn cub and his two siblings at around three weeks old, she followed them as they grew.
When they reached seven weeks the lioness decided her cubs were old enough to be introduced to the rest of the pride - including their father - and the 36-year-old Californian was there to capture the special moment.

The photographer said the protective lioness kept a close watch on all interactions between the cubs and their father to ensure the adult lion was not too rough with her brood.
But the breathtaking shots show the mighty lion was tender in his treatment of the vulnerable cub.
Miss Eszterhas said of the first meeting between father and son: 'The cub was a bit shy and apprehensive but the father was very gentle.
The father reacted by gently playing with them and often growling.
