RE: Lion pictures and videos - vinodkumarn - 10-17-2017
Lions have no particular breeding season, and often synchronize breeding, especially after a pride takeover, raising the cubs communally. Male lions become sexually mature at around 26 months old, but unlikely to breed before the age of four or five, primarily due to a lack of opportunity until they are large enough at around this age to take over a pride and therefore its breeding rights. Now you know.....enjoy the rest of the day.(photo by D.Aruasa)

We have had a number of mock charges over the many years of African Safaris from mostly Elephants but also Rhino and Buffalo but had never been charged by a lion before.This was one scary experience.We were in an open landrover in the Little Chem Chem area in the Tarangire National Park,Tanzania,East Africa and came up on a mating lion couple.We were maybe 10-15 yards away when the Ranger /Guide stopped the vehicle and the male growled at us and before we knew he was coming right at us as seen from this photo.My wife ,Marisse Goldman and Dan Harlacher were on the side of the vehicle directly in its path and Adele Harlacher and I were on the other side.The Ranger/Guide stood up and frantically waved his arms and then banged loudly on the side of the vehicle and the lion stopped maybe 4-5 yards from the vehicle.We have since found out that his name is Silas!!None of us can remember if there were 2 or 3 charges but definitely more than one.

Mine! We left Mata Mata camp early one morning and came across a scene of carnage four wildebeest carcasses strewn across the sand dune with a pride of lions feeding on them. This male wasn't sharing with anyone and when we stopped to photograph him we got this pose before he dragged the carcass away and under a tree.

Goose step.
The goose step is a special marching step performed on formal military parades and other ceremonies. While marching in parade formation, troops swing their legs in unison off the ground while keeping each leg straight and unbent.
The step originated in Prussian military drill in the mid-18th century and was called the Stechschritt (literally, "piercing step") or Stechmarsch. German and Soviet military advisors spread the tradition throughout the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. The goose step is now used by the militaries of over seventy countries, comprising three-fifths of the world's population.
The term "goose step" originally referred to a British military drill in which one leg at a time was swung back and forth without bending the knee.[1] Apparently, standing on only one leg reminded soldiers of how geese often stand. The term was later applied to the German stechschritt during World War I.[2][3] As a result, term has acquired a pejorative meaning in some English-speaking countries. (By Wikipedia)

@vinodkumarn :
About #934: very interesting little historical reminder. For me the goose step was essentially associated to the german army during the second world war by the evocations of persons having just known the german occupation...
What is the probability to see a couple of lions having similar mane doing so a perfect goose step ? Very low, I presume...
Are the lions martial animals ? No !

The REAL buffalo soldier!
Stunning pictures capture the moment a mother trying to fend off a pride of lions attacking her calf is rescued when bull charges in and KILLS one of the predators
Photographer Wim van den Heever describes how he watched the lions attempting to take down the cow a number of times, but that she was finally 'saved' by a bull from the herd.
In a dramatic turn of events, a protective macho buffalo steps in, scaring the lions away and nearly mauling the injured lioness to death - saving the mother's life.
Mr van den Heever said the lioness crawled out of the mud and died two days later.
Wim, 43, said: 'The bull came and chased the female lions off the mother buffalo, trying to injure them.
'Luckily they escaped, but while he chases them he sees the injured female lion and really finishes her off, by mauling her and pushing her into the mud. I've never witnessed anything like this.'

This lion, with his distinctive dark mane and belly hair, was recently spotted on our Panthera camera traps. His name is Kalamas and he is well known to the KopeLion team and local community.
Recently, some Maasai women told of meeting him at Mt Lemakarot where he was drinking from a spring - he lay quietly and allowed them to collect water undisturbed. Kalamas travels widely, appearing intermittently on camera traps on the Lake Eyasi escarpment, Ngorongoro Highlands, and Kakesio (in the very south of the NCA) since 2015. In November 2015 he was observed mating in the Ngorongoro Crater.
Whilst the KopeLion team are very keen to collar him, Kalamas in the Maa language means 'the intelligent and tricky one', given for his ability to evade us!
