Avoca male lions

[BigLion39]

Lions don't really recognize each other by sight too much, especially since lions are extremely similar looking. They more resort to scent. So, if for example, Southern Avoca brother doesn't recognize his long lost N. Avoca brothers scent then he will not remember him. The recognition process starts welllll before the lions are remotely close enough to see each other. So if its been years without smelling them they aren't going to remember them by seeing them. Lions seeing trainers they didn't see for months I think is different because human scent is so different than lions scent and we look so different. It might be why they will recognize a long lost trainer??? Who knows??? But we can see sometimes when a male is with another pride he controls for a time, comes back to his main pride he controls, the females don't recognize the other prides scent and the lionesses attack the male.  We see this all the time. So scent is the major factor in recognizing each other. Reply
