LIONS! You know this is what you have been waiting for!
If this picture looked better on blogger you would see that the male lion on the right is actually eating a wildebeest! His entire face is red with blood. Oh, and did I mention its about 7:00/7:30 in the morning? It was so gross!
Mostly though, this is what the lions did --slept in the shade! I, personally, was pleased not to see the lions kill anything. I didn't mind the eating after the kill at all, but I didn't need to see the chase, the fight and the death. So sleeping lions were fine with me!
Jason waited and waited for the yawn! Here you go -- he is so proud, its a perfect yawn pic!
I know lions are cats. I know. But it never ceased to amaze me how related they all are. The lion in the front of this picture is cleaning herself by licking her paw and rubbing it over her head! Oh, how many times have I seen my own cats do that??? It was priceless!
This is a male and a female sleeping in a post-sex daze. Lions mate for seven days -- throughout the seven days, they do nothing but sleep and have sex. No food, water, nothing -- just sleep and sex!
This is my favourite picture! Look how happy and contented the lion looks! (By the way, I have seen my own cat do this very same pose in the sun in our apartment!)
Here the lions are about to mate. What I really like about this picture though is how close the lions are to the car. Immediately after the sex, the male came and laid in the shade of our jeep! He was so close to Jason that all Jason could do was lean his arm out the window and snap a quick picture (whilst praying his arm wouldn't be eaten off)!!!
