Weekend in Black and White


A week with lions...

How lucky we were to observe mating lions during our last trip to Africa.



Lions mate approximately every 15 minutes for up to 5 days in a row.
The female ovaries need the stimulus of mating before eggs can be released - the more mating the higher the chances of a pregnancy.


Tiring business.

To celebrate World Lion day: A week with lions here and on Instagram.

  12. Großartige Fotos! Das erste ist absolut beeindruckend! Ich würd mich da allerdings um mein Ohr fürchten, die Löwendame nimmt das alles eher gelassen ...
    Noch ein schönes Wochenende!
