A Tender Moment Before Killing
This lion pair had just finished their "honeymoon" / mating cycle, and their "appetites" were clearly shifting toward food. They were beginning to take interest in the wildebeest and warthog around them, but still remained close and loving toward each other. #zimbabwe #Hwange #Hwangenationalpark #nature #natur #naturephotography #wildlifeprotection #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeconservation #nationalgeographic #natgeo #natgeonature #ethicalnaturephotography #conservation #ethicalwildlifephotography #predator #bigcat #bigcatsofafrica #lions #africanlions #Löwen #africansavannah #Zimbabwe #Africa #bigfive
Lion, King of the Grassland
I'll agree that "King of the Jungle" is a silly misnomer since they don't live in one. But I'll anoint them King of the Savannah because, out of the zillions of species who share the African grasslands, lions are the only ones I saw relax. They aren't looking over their shoulder for the scarier animal to come along (unless it's an even stronger lion!).

This majestic lion enjoys a peaceful moment by the riverbank, soaking in the sights and sounds of the wild. Even the king of the savannah needs time to relax! 🐾✨
