brown/ochre (furred) lions lying / basking in the sun Explanation: I've avoided using skin, because we don't actually see their skin, but their fur (the writer didn't have his/her eye completely on the ball here, I fear!). In fact I think it works best without anything at all. The colour adjective used is a little surprising: golden is what we're used to. And tumbados is really just lying, but basking is asking to be used I feel - a question of collocation. |
