Lions of Timbavati

[Potato]

Last week I posted some shots of this rare white lion.  Here are two pics of him getting into a scuffle with his father.  The father is letting the son know that it is about time he leaves the pride and strikes out on his own. Male lions are usually forced out by the time they are three years old.  Our guide told us that these fights had become more frequent, so the time was nearing.    The second image is not really sharp, but I like the action and the composition.  I did not have the proper settings to capture this sudden action as it was a bright sunny day and the lions were actually pretty mellow until this happened.  Ngala, South Africa.
