By Lauren Hill Firemen often come to the rescue of tabby cats from tree tops but a stranded LION might be one kind of cat they wouldn't expect to see. The young lion cub was playing with his pals under the African sun but made an impulsive decision and leapt up into the trees forgetting that he's not as nimble as his smaller feline pals. But panic set in when the cub realised that he'd got himself into a rather tricky position so tried a series of twists and turns to wriggle his way out of the branches. After the acrobatic performance, he saw the funny side of his dilemma and burst into a fit of giggles when he finally found a comfortable spot to rest and survey the ground below. Amateur Russian photographer Alexey Tishchenko snapped the stranded lion in the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. Alexey, 41, spends his days heading up his cargo transportation business and his spare time behind the lens focusing on the natural world. He said: "I was watching a pride of lion's when all of a sudden the young cub leaped up into the tree and tried to balance on the branches. "You could tell that as soon as he got himself stuck that he immediately regretted the decision to go climbing in the trees. "It was as if he forgot he was a lion and thought he was a monkey instead. "It was such a funny and unexpected sight to see the lion up in the tree. "As soon as I started experimenting with photography, I knew that it was animal photography that I wanted to specialise in because animals can be so unpredictable and end up doing such funny things.
