I've come across a surprising image, a Serengeti lion called 'Hildur' which was skinny and strong at the same time, frequently making long runs to a pride: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2013/08/intimate-national-geographic-portraits-of-the-serengeti-lion/100570/

Usually, lions aren't aquatic, unlike their nearest relatives in the Americas, the jaguars, besides their more distant relatives, the tigers, but these Southern African and Asiatic lions beg to differ:

@chaos :
About #1203: yes, I believe so...
@BorneanTiger :
About #1202: Yes, I know, the Okavongo lions are unique. The only ones to interact frequently with stretch of water.

Beautiful male... From where ?
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Spalea - 07-31-2019
Determination, just intense determination...
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Pantherinae - 07-31-2019
Male lion that lost his mane due to stress, luckily it grew back later. It’s wierd to look at, but they look impressive without it as well.

Here the mane has started to grow back.

@Pantherinae
About #1207: Without the mane we can see there is a big difference with a lioness: masive body and shoulders, head less thin... Striking !

The lioness's patience is at an end...

Talking about prey, here's a Roman mosaic from Tunisia in the 2nd century showing 2 lions devouring a boar (I presume Barbary lions and a North African boar): https://www.flickr.com/photos/22490717@N02/7847199676

A bit of humor in between... this lion reminded me about a cat, which I had in past. He was also often looking like quite proud before he then managed to do something like in this video ;
