Lions of Sabi Sands

[Spalea]

James Tyrrell: " I love the affection displayed between members of a lion coalition.

Whether “affection” is even the right word, I’m not sure, but the rubbing of heads, soft “umph” utterances that we can’t help but ascribe to tenderness, and the genuine pleasure they seem to take in each other’s company, are all so seemingly out of character for a dominant male lion that we can’t help but be drawn in.
These brothers hadn’t seen each other in 24hrs or so, but their respective roars on a freezing winter’s morning reunited them on an open clearing, where we got to see the full greeting display.
@si_smit weren’t you in this sighting? Majingis off Taylor’s River Rd/Elmon’s Kraal... "
