Advertisement A lion has been captured reflecting on where it all went wrong - before turning to drink to cheer himself - in a set of striking photographs taken in South Africa. The male adolescent with the thousand-yard stare appeared to be filled with anguish as he lay beside the watering hole in Greater Kruger National Park. But fortunately he was able to rally out of the melancholy pool of despair and instead drown his sorrows in the nearby water, appearing to be more than somewhat cheered after having a sip. The images were captured by Kruger guide Moosa Varachia who said that as a young lion soon due to leave his family to strike out alone, he was perhaps starting to feel the weight of the world on his shoulders.
