Old northern pride male (ruled, 2000-2009) , Phinda, SA. Claimed to be 250 kg, plausible! Impressive girth on him!

Lion cubs play whack-a-mole with geese:




Quote:This captivating sighting was filmed on the Dulini Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sands Greater Kruger. Jem Harris shared this incredible sighting with LatestSightings.com where he witnessed lions hunting geese in the mud!

Lions are not too fond of getting into the water. They can swim, but from most experiences, getting wet is not their favorite thing to do.

But of course, when food, or rather a snack, in this case, is involved - they do not mind getting their paws dirty. Literally. 

At first, these lions are curious about the strange creatures floating in the water. But when they soon realize this could easily be a good snack, they start attempting to get to the Egyptian geese.

At first, it is not too much fun, as they are unsure of how deep the mud could be, but one eventually risks it and gets to the goose.

I believe its Serengeti, Serengeti lions in general have square, rectangle heads, while craters have long, horse like heads, oblong with longer muzzle in general. I think those males are C boy and Hildur. Sons of C boy? below.

They seemed average to me 180-190 kgs , if not slightly bigger, 200 kgs, upper average.

Crater, long muzzled. I haven't seen a single crater lion on pics having shorter muzzle, every lion I've seen had black manes covering the shoulders and had no change in phenotype. Similar type of body, uniform exhibited by every lion and lionesses, Inbreeding I believe, much more similar to Asiatic lions, no change in phenotype.

What a fascinating lion…his head and nose almost look cartoonish. If I had drawn a lion like this while attempting to make a realistic portrait, I’d probably have thought I’d made an error!

A great story about Pretty Boy from the Sohebele coalition, true Kings of Timbavati

2 last sons of the famous Mapogo bloodline. A mystery in itself.

For me the biggest lions in Africa, powerful, handsome and breathtaking. New coalitions are entering the Ngorongoro Crater, the 5 Lake Quintet males are under attack. How long will they rule and survive?
