The Sleeping Lion at Uluru

Hi guys, I have been to Uluru a few times but only noticed this in the photo behind me, the face of a Sleeping Lion.

What do you think, or am i seeing things, "I am getting older ya know"

Spotted, but man I hope you get regular skin checks!

Nose and whiskers helps a lot.

I just made it out on the right hand side in profile, though there is this great boofhead standing in front of the rock

I saw one in the original small version thumbnail looking straight toward the camera, with a "sad" face. Second pic there's another looking about 90* away. Maybe they're having the same "perimeter issues" as Taronga is having. No more mid afternoon G&T's for me!
