King of the jungle hangs about in a tree as he takes a rest out of the sun in Ugandan national park

An incredible collection of photographs captures the moment a family of lions sprawl out across a tree in slumber bringing new meaning to the term 'cat nap'. 

Other incredible images show the lions glaring at the cameraman who has interrupted their lazy day and their legs dangling from the branches.

The striking pictures were taken in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda by Thomas Plura, from Germany but now living in Kigali, Rwanda.
