@Fredymrt:

About #751: I' m quoting "From sleeping beauties to rage-filled warriors. This is why I love lions, they epitomise everything that is the African bush." All is said and well said. One couldn't say it better. About this fact and about what happened - I reminder recently - about the Charleston males lions (#198). In one second we pass from the full beatitude to the outburst of anger ! Lions are Shakespearian animals, passionate animals, animals of passion.

It is fairly unusual to see lions crossing a river. We were lucky to watch these two brothers swimming to reach the other bank to unite with their other two brothers who had somehow managed to get to the other side. The reunion was a sight worth watching. Lots of grunting, rubbing, rolling and expressions of joy.

@Majingilane:

About #760: Dark Mane starts to suffer from a cataract, doesn't he ?

The cataract seems to be enough frequently occuring among the big cats. I already noticed here a tiger and an other lion which had one.

Most likely due to getting injured there, I guess?

@Polar:

About #763: may be yes, may be not... Dark Mane is not injured around his eye, but his grey eye is clearly suffering from a cataract. An eye is very fragile against a blow of paw. His eye isn't poked, thus I think it is a cataract. But I can be wrong.

The injury was an old one. The strike he recieved healed a long time ago, but it's clear it left some damage.

I'll post again some of the pics, notice the healing injury above his eye.

@Majingilane:

About #765: On the photos you show the right Dark Mane's eye is intact ! Not injured at all. Do these photos date for a long time ? Because a cataract will not come from a day to the following one. An eye like the Dark Mane's one on the #760' is the result of a long process. Except if the fact that the big cats' cataract is fast is proved. What I don't know...

Thus, at first, I think that Dark Mane was hurt (#765), with no consequency on his right eye. But a long time after, and now, Dark Mane is suffering from his cataract (#760). His cataract came after his wound.
