a female lion close-up with my phone camera

            I could only use my phone inside of this lion's house. 

They seem to hate camera or long lenses; they may react to it as though they were being shot with a rifle or aimed at with a rifle or something like that.  I think they are actually scared of a lens like 70-200 or anything longer.  I never realize they hate cameras this much. But they obviously got agitated or nervous and very angry after some German guy used his 70-200mm zoom (the white one) to shoot them.  And after that, a zookeeper girl showed up and asked him not to use his big lens.  So, we all just used our phones here.

And inside of the shelter was warm like 20c.  And they seemed to love the warm air in the room.  The outside temp was about minus 7c, so they may be unable to survive outside in the winter season, not sure, but they were very lazy and much less active than most other kinds of animals in the zoo.
