Nelis Wolmarans: " Catching a breath after a successful hunt... "
Nelis Wolmarans: " Morning patrol... "
" It's not always easy to depict the essence of an animal within an image. Lions have sometimes haunted our dreams, well at least those of us who grew up within their mist at an age where tall grasses unleashed our imagination on what lay yonder.
Actually, lions are fearful of humans yet there is still a ‘look’ that a lion can hold that will remind you of their predatory superiority. "  
Frasier the Lion
This lion had an unusual story. He fathered 35 cubs in under 2 years! All at the age of about 19. He had a sort of sad story, being most likely an abused circus lion for so long, considering his poor condition. At least late in his life, his last few years, he found some small comfort with a loving family around him.

" If only all could experience a game drive in the wilds of Africa. More so, following lions on a territorial patrol. With this primal and exciting experience comes the realisation that the world would not only be a grimmer place without these incredible animals, it wouldn’t be a world at all. Just a two dimensional and listless place to endure rather than to live.

David Yarrow: "The Morning Show
A glimpse of a moment caught on my remotely controlled camera. The lioness who accompanied the lion then went off with the camera. It’s all about the small things and because all this happened just before 6.50 am, there was enough morning dew to give the lion’s mane a tiny rinse. We recovered the camera some time later and it was quite a thrill to see the last image the bitten camera had taken. Remotes are a low percentage play, but when they come off and the subject is looking strong, they transcend hand held work because of the proximity and the angle of view. He really did put on The Morning Show. There is no doubt that this photograph will be in much demand. I certainly want it for my wall." Superb !
In order to have a piece of a small warthog, between 3 big male lions it's quite a tussle...
I believe it happens (happened) inside the Masai Mara, perhaps too we see Scarface, the left one... In this case this photo is an old one.
Michael Laubscher: " This is what lion discipline looks like "
Yes, confronted to an adult male, a sub adult male has no choice...   (09-08-2020, 12:17 PM)BigLion39 Wrote: I've seen that video in the past. Definitely tough to watch. Poor guy. I had already seen that too. During the 1990s inside the Serengeti park. Some lions would have been in contact with domestic Masais' dogs. So, distemper crisis ? This video is dated from 2013.
" When Lions start the act of mating, the male and the female will stay together for roughly 4-5 days, mating every 15 – 20minutes around the clock, you can imagine its quite an energy draining process, but much needed in order for the female to be stimulated and ovulate.
The female will often mate with the other males in the coalition, the reason for this is to ensure the survival and safety of her offspring. " |
