I think it's funny that this is from the same paper that published this (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=439534&in_page_id=1770) story just a few months ago. Shows that lions aren't as cuddly as these pictures might want us to think.
Looks like a "challenge stare" to me. When I worked with the dogs if they gave that to their pups it meant "STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR I AM GOING TO GET REALLY MAD!!"
For any one who likes the anthropomorphic lions I can strongly recommend the movie "Pride". It stars real lions with animated moving mouths who speak the Queen's English (it is a BBC/Henson production). After about 10 minutes of viewing you forget that on the veldt lions do not speak English.

or it meant "I AM THE BOSS, not you!"
No, they speak Afrikaans.
