When a lion was pictured walking out in the sparkling snow with his majestic mane blowing in the wind, the word “catwalk” took on a whole new meaning.
The photogenic cat, Tom, fie, posed with wide eyes, his hair unkempt, and his tail spread out close to some fir trees. In addition, he curled up next to a tree stump, where golden fur caught the sun as the king of the jungle—in this case, the tyrant of the Zoopak Na Hádeku in the Czech Republic—sauntering by.
