Just an illustration with the lions.
I used Maya for modeling, MR for rendering and Shave and Haircut for fur.
Textures, compositing and postwork with Photoshop.
The original image resolution is 3800x2375 and it took forever to render it out!
For the main pass I used medium quality render settings with FG and DOF.
The shadow raytracing quality wasn't high enough so I had to do some postwork to fill some "black" pixel.
I blurred some hard edges and make some correction to the contrasts and color gamma.
Finally I 've rendered the occlusion pass in separate parts and composited in Photoshop.

I hope you like the final result

A classic view of a young tiger from Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand.

Modeled with Maya, rendered with MentalRay. Fur with Shave and Haircut.

With Photoshop I added an occlusion layer pass, contrast and color enhancement.

The final image is 3636x2772. I decided to not put the fur all over the body because my PC couldn't really handle so many hair primitives.

Total of six hair systems for the head and the side parts of the front legs just to match the 4k textures of the body.

Hope you like it
