Photo Title	Faux Lions
Photo Description	In Senegal, men dress up as lions and parade around neighborhoods roaring and baring their teeth as children shriek with both joy and fear. Community associations rent out these lions for the weekend to raise money for community projects. When the faux lions come to town, there are two choices: you can pay to see the lions' show or peak in from outside, but you better be fast enough to out run them, otherwise you end up in the lions' den. This photo of "Simba" in action is taken in Senegal, West Africa July 2011.
