About the Item

Super Cub aka Cubby — the first release from my new lion series taken in the Namiri Plains of Tanzania. 24 × 36 in / 61 × 91.4 cm / Edition of 20 31 × 46.5 in / 78.7 × 118.1 cm / Edition of 15 40 × 60 in / 101.6 × 152.4 cm / Edition of 10 60 × 90 in / 152.4 × 228.6 cm / Edition of 7 Life on the savannah can be perilous for a lion cub, but being born into a large, healthy pride offers protection. Mothers, aunts, and sisters cooperate to nurse and guard the young, while dominant males defend the pride from outside threats. Danger remains ever-present: rival males, predators, and harsh conditions mean survival is never guaranteed. The most meaningful way we can ensure a future for young, curious cubs like this is to keep ecosystems intact and allow nature the space to thrive. Paul Nicklen's Biography: Paul Nicklen (Canadian) is a visual artist and marine biologist who has documented both the beauty and the plight of our planet for over 20 years. Paul’s photography informs and connects by creating an emotional bond with wild subjects in extreme conditions. After a 20-year career of photographing for journalistic publications like National Geographic, Paul’s perpetuating dream is to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to continue photographing intimate, evocative, powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Paul hopes his viewers look into the eyes of the animals in his photographs and fall in love with their vulnerability. In addition to being one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers, Paul is a well-known speaker, TED Talks participant, author, and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues such as climate change. Paul has garnered more than 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, earning a global following of celebrities, conservationists, and fans.
