Meeting His Subjects

In 1966, LIFE photographer John Dominis traveled to Africa on a mission: to document the lives of wild cats up close. After chasing cheetahs and tracking leopards, Dominis examined the greatest of the carnivorous cats: the mighty lion. Pictured: the photographer and a lion cub in portrait.
