I am featuring a species per week on my social media channels. Here is a summary of the last week’s posts (and some blog bonus images). I hope you enjoy some of my favorite Lion pictures :-).

Imagine …
… you left your office for a short drive in nature
Imagine …
… you spend a warm summer evening on an open savanna
Imagine …
… a lite drizzle of rain and strong winds cool you down
and imagine …
… you watch a beautiful male Lion drinking, observing his surroundings and sleeping
Well, if you can imagine that then you shared one of my evenings this week 😊
Have a good weekend!

I thought this picture works well for MOTHERS DAY 🙂 Enjoy the day!
As in Romeo and Juliet this Lioness has no way to get united with her Romeo. As one can see in the video the young female is in esterous and is keen to mate, but the fences between two game reserve prevent the males from getting to here (the roars in the background are from the males on the neighboring reserve).
The lady is obviously not interested in the perfectly good dominant male on her side of the reserve. The grass seems always greener on the other side of the fence.
Enjoy the video and your week!

I have a lot of images of African Lions, but only a few of the very rare Asiatic Lion (from the Zurich Zoo).
I just uploaded 17 of them – taken between 2009 and 2016 to www.sperka.biz/sg16.
More species gallery available online at http://www.sperka.biz/sg.
These are twenty Lion images, which I have posted as a special series on Instagram over the last few weeks. They are some of my favorite Lion picture which I have taken since 2001.
I hope you will enjoy them – Have a good week!
