Roar Passion
This was the first mating action of the morning for these lions, which is usually the most violent (as you can see here)! We were really lucky to find them just after first light while the park was still empty!

Right place, right time, yes the female experiences much pain during mating due to the male appendage ‘design’ not to be too explicit, this discomfort stimulates ovulation, it is the same for the entire cat species, wild and domesticated.
