Lion Male Notizblock

Close-up photo of a male lion resting in yellow grass, with his golden eyes looking right at you. This male lion never moved from position while we sat in our vehicle watching him rest alongside one of his females. Although male lions have a certain reputation for allowing their females to do most of the hunting work, the males do have a tough job as well. Along with hunting, they must protect the pride, patrol all of their territory, and keep their pride safe from other males who want to take over their position of leadership. Mombo Island, Okavango Delta, Botswana.
