On 10 August was World Lion Day. Instead of only one picture post for the occasion I thought I post twenty of my favorite Lion images, one for each of my twenty years of wildlife photography from 2001 to 2021. Enjoy this festival of Lions! #1

The little one wanted a drink as well. It got it a few minutes later.
Have a good week!

LITTLE LIONS are one of my favorite photography subjects. These two did a synchronized walk for my photo shoot 😊

After a few days of mating the Lion female had enough and wanted to go off hunting. But here mate tried to hold on 😊

Has it happened to you that you drive down the road at night and that you run into some cats?
Well, our cats ‘own’ the road at night and we have to follow them patiently. No overtaking! 😊

Because this kill was very small the more dominant of the female Lions did not allow cubs on the kill other than her own.
When they tried to sneak in they got a bit of a hiding.
And it got a bit noisy. What a sighting at Thanda Safari!

Once male Lions find a female in estrous they are very persistent. And even after they mated for a few days our two males were trailing the lady for quite a while!
