White lions in a park in South-Africa, Johannusburg
|
Snoozing in the grass.. with a million flies as company
|
But hé! Whats that?! TOURISTS!
|
Maybe I can catch one for diner?
|
She's got her blue eyes on me...
|
And theres dad, with a cub in the background. He looks amazing doesn't he?
|
These lions are really big too! When they walk pass the car, their shoulders reach your window. Fantastic to see them up close, even if its not a wild one, its still a lion...

The look in her eyes is amazing. Enlarge please, to get a better impression
|
Nice in the shade
|
One of my favourites, its just so cute
|
Just look at all the scratches on his nose.
|
See these white patches underneath the eyes? They draw in light so these animals can hunt at night. Falcons and cheeta's have a similair patch but in black: it keeps out the light so birds of prey can look directly into the sun! Same with cheeta's: it keeps the 'flair' out, a bit like sunglasses on humans.
|
Lion cubs where kept apart from their parents: these can be touched, you stroke them on the back. I think its sad for these animals, its anything but natural. And all day long they get touched. I went in there too and stroked very lightly: the cub thought I was a fly and tried to hit me with its paw!
|
...and thats me, stroking the sleepy cubs!
|
The order of pictures is screwed up, this one should be up top, ah well!
