Welcome

The lions are resting under
the shade of a plane

The lion is the "King of all the Animals"

The King of the Animals

But it is also the king of the idle !

The Lioness does all the work, and raises its young alone
the male joins the female only for reproduction with a copulation
every 15 minutes, but a few instead of afew seconds. The lioness also
has to feed the lion, by hunting for it. Lionesses must be vigilant
otherwise the male could eat their cubs !!

Lions live most of the time in male groups consisting of two or three
animals, and sleeping 22 hours out of 24. The lioness raises two
to three small cubs, that will eventually become adults lions.
There is no other predator than can match the power,
the force, the speed of the lioness. It is certainly the
most harmful predator of Africa even against man !
personally, I do not know what could stop a lioness
that was intent on defending its cubs.

The wind of a tree would be enough to bring some fresh air !!
Unusual shade for a Lion tribe isn't it ?

The lioness hunted that very day, early in the morning and the whole
family had breakfast thanks to what they brought from the hunt the remains
of a Wildebeest. (The lion is a predator who hunts for its living but I do not want
to show too violent images because of the mnay children who like to view
these pictures and tell me they do not want to see the violent images.

After the breakfast, the young lions play and have a bath in a nearly dry pool
covered with leaves. They are fighting for one of the Wildebeest’s leg,
here on the picture.

Around twelve, one o’clock, it starts to be become very warm and there is no
shades around the pool. The lion family moves and looks for a quite place to rest.
We are following them in the distance, in order not to bother them; and as there
are no trees or hills around, we were astonished when they arrived at the private
landing area of a lodge and that they settled under the wing of a plane.
You can see they remain right under the shade !

Two hours later, the mechanics of the plane arrived and found it hard
to make them leave !!

The whole troop soon left, under the overwhelming heat.?
