Lions of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and others)

[Spalea]

Daniel Rosengren: " beautiful lion photographed in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Male lions form coalitions of up to four males, usually (but not always) consisting of brothers and cousins born at the same time in the same pride. They keep larger territories than the female prides do. These larger male territories may include a few female pride territories and they spend time, eat and mate with the females in the different prides. Therefore, contrary to common belief, the males are not pride members nor pride leaders. The females and their offspring make up the lion pride and there is actually no leader at all, it's an egalitarian society. "
