This is a small fork that my husband bought for my son when he went South-Africa. It's handmade and has beautiful lion decorations all in orange as you can see a little bit of here.
HAPPY MM!
Lions are the only cats that live in groups. Lions are the second largest cat on Earth (after Siberian Tiger).
It was a pleasant 4-eye meeting (early morning, Engelhard Dam Road). He gave me few seconds to take some photos and then suddenly started roaring. At first I was a little bit in panic, but after few seconds I unerstood that this was not for me, he was calling his friends.

Probably my best lion picture from the whole trip.

This is the last snap I took before shutting the window. The Lion was just plodding along past us, showing no interest in our presence.

This Stellar Sea Lion is keeping an eye on me but is otherwise not afraid and continues to swim in the area looking for salmon to eat.

La qualité est mauvaise mais je poste la photo quand même : c'est en effet la première fois que j'ai pu voir vraiment le lion d'Asie (un couple au Parc des félins) autrement que loin et affalé comme une carpette.
LION D'ASIE :
Son habitat naturel s'étendait autrefois sur tout le sous-continent indien et il était possible de le trouver de la Syrie à l'Inde orientale. À cause de la chasse et de la destruction de son habitat, il avait pratiquement disparu du continent au XXe siècle. Le lion d'Asie est en grand danger d'extinction. Les derniers spécimens sauvages, environ 500 seulement, se trouvent en Inde, dans la forêt de Gir. Des bergers maldharis introduisent leur troupeau dans le parc national, accroissant le risque de prélèvement de leur bétail par les lions. Bien qu'indemnisés par l'état indien, les tensions sont fortes et certains éleveurs laissent du bétail empoisonné à destination des lions. Le 12 septembre 2018, cinq lions de la forêt de Gir sont morts de la maladie de Carré, une souche est-africaine ayant déjà décimé un tiers des populations de lions africaines. Des tirs de vaccins contre cette maladie sont la seule mesure de protection efficace.
The lion is another one of the amazing sand sculptures which add additional interest to the park at the palace of Ludwigsburg right now. In reality he sits in front of a restaurant which doesn't make a pretty background. When I saw him I immediately imagined him on a rock high above the plains of the Serengeti with only the sky above him and this is the reason why I chose this background for him.
Lions are my favorites of the big cats. They like to hunt, fight, play, love, bond and, unfortunately, sleep. Males are protective of their territory and leave a message at the proverbial post office, whenever they pass by. It was fun watching even young males stop by the post office and check the mail, even if they didn’t leave their own personal scent message. This big guy checked the post office for messages and left one of his own. (Panther leo) (Sony a1, 70-200mm lens @ 121mm, f/5, 1/500 second, ISO 640)

Thank you all for your views, likes and comments. I read them all! It is always very much appreciated.
One of the most entertaining things about self-driving safaris is that once you're parked and quiet, the animals ignore you and just go about their business. This lion (and the others) walked so close to our vehicle a couple times that we rolled up the windows (just in case).
