This is how a Lion looks when he is roaring. He does this to assert his territory and to let the ladies know where he is, in case of need 😊
Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!
PS: The rest of the answers to this mornings question will follow!
… and here is how it sounds …

Lions facial expressions, captured on a picture do not always correspond to what we think they are doing at the time. So here is a little game. Match the action to the picture 😊
A Roaring …
B Yawning …
C Loving …
D Scratching …
E Growling …
… Lion
The correct answer will be in tonight’s post!
Have a good day. Stay home and stay safe!

I got some more images of our Lion cubs. After a cold night they were enjoying the morning sun when I took these pictures.
Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!

This is a short video about today’s sighting of two small Lion cubs and two female Lions at Thanda Safari.
Enjoy the show 😊

I suggest you spend 30 seconds relaxing while watching a Lion sleeping on the savanna.
Enjoy your evening, stay home and stay safe!

Today I did a little experiment and left my cameras at home. Equipped with two iPhones (Xs Max and 7+), a pair of Swarovski binoculars and an adapter to attach a phone to the binos I went onto evening safari.
And here are some of the pictures which proof that a smart phone safari can be very rewarding. If you want to know more about this you can watch my video on the topic: https://youtu.be/eLeKTRP615g

Another one of my wild cat photography favorites: A male Lion striding straight towards the camera at Thanda Safari.
Have a good week, stay home and stay safe!

These two juvenile Lions are part of a group of six youngsters (3 females and 3 males) which have formed a new pride structure in the western part of the reserve.
Their mothers have separated themselves because they are either pregnant or have already given birth to new litters.
The two dominant males on the Thanda are not related to these youngsters. It is therefore in these young Lions’ interest – especially the males – to stay out of the way of the male coalition.
The only real constant in Lions’ family structures is the constant change!
Stay home and stay safe.

I shot many hundreds Lion portraits over the last 19 years. This is one of my favorites. Being fully alert with open round eyes this young male posed properly for his headshot 😊
Have a good weekend, stay home and stay safe!
