Mating Lions in their peak moment
Mating Lions in their peak moment
Whilst on a wildlife safari game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve, we witnessed a sighting of Lions mating close by. We managed to capture some extraordinary videos and pictures so that we could share this once-in-a-lifetime encounter with you all. Have you ever wondered why Lions look so angry when mating? The mating behaviour of Lions is a painful process for females. The penis is barbed, and its withdrawal hurts the female who may twist around and attack the dismounting male.
Photographed here is Olsito from the Topi pride mating with one of his females.
