My Xmas present to you all, here is a Lion

#1 Unread post by sapaul »

Thought I would share what a full grown male in his prime looks like. This boy is truly King of his jungle.

Isn't he MAGNIFICENT. Don't be fooled this boy is totally wild, he will kill you, looking at his well fed body, maybe he has ?

At a guess maybe 400 to 450 kilograms, sho!!!!!!!

Wow, is that a common occurrence around where you live? I couldn't imagine.
The closest thing to that I've ever seen was a couple of bobcats walking through the yard.

Wild Lions like this are only now seen in the National parks, but here our parks are as big as some countries.

We do still get, Baboons, Chacma's and Leopard that are still outside of the park, plus a lot of other wild cats like Civet, Caracal and Genet. Monkeys are plentiful in the coastal regions.

We also have crocodile and Hippo and really big water monitors.

We recently opened the Kruger park to expand into the borders of Mocambique and Zimbabwe. We now have a problem that these Lions kill and eat illegal immigrants trying to cross the borders into South Africa by walking through the park
