RE: Lion pictures and videos - Spalea - 08-02-2016
@Majingilane:
about #553: Beautiful photo exhilarating the manly friendship, fraternity, between two leader male lions of a pride, comrades in arms till the death. Perhaps I am a little too anthropomorphic but the caption speaking about " the strongest bond one will ever witness in nature", my lyricism is encouraged...

My friend, it's exactly the same I think. In this sense, in the brotherhood they develop, we can't help but see ourselves in them.
In this time of history, we are separated from our wild side, we lose the connection with what we really are as men. But one look at history, and all we see is that starting from the lowest denominator, a simple tribe, up to mighty empires and kigdoms, all there is, all we know has been started and built by groups of men, men who knew that alone they couldn't survive, that they needed each other.
Take away everything we have today, every comfortable thing you can think of, and put us back in the wild, and I'm 100% sure we would be back to what I believe is the most basic unit able to survive: a gang of men.
And isn't this exactly what lions do?
So I'm afraid I'm also guilty of being "too anthropomorphic" on this subject, because I think it describes us very well as men.

Quite agree ! By being "too anthropomorphic" or being afraid to be so, we cannot deny that there is a mysterious tie between lions and us. Perhaps we would like to dream getting inside the skin of these lions, because this animals are really superb and beautiful. And perhaps too, not knowing to anticipate the future, they are purely, totally and intensely living the moment. Somewhere they have the power of pure emotion inside of us. They are 100% "carpe diem". They don't know the feeling of doubt, thus they seem to be so "intense" in which they are emitting and freeing.

Battered King Sam!
Having not heard a lion roar for a couple of years, I got chills down my spine when King Sam asserted his supremacy 2 metres away from our car! No words to describe the powerful sound of a lions roar.

Regarding post #560
I got to say that he is right about being totally battered

@Majingilane:
About #562: I like so much a lion's body like this one: skinned, almost emaciated, muscles and tendons of the legs prominent when he is just walking, open mouth as he is complaining of the heat and dust, the intensity of the eyes, of the glance. Tormented soul also ?
Very beautiful photo...

As you may know, lions mate with the female lying flat on her stomach. This pose is "lion talk" for "not now, Honey, I've got a headache!"

Ash, brother of Mokara and son of Mufasa last week at Rooiputs in the Kgalagadi.
The last time I took photos of him was in November 2012. Glad to see that he is still okay and in good health. Credits to Gerhard Steenkamp.
