This its really nice, Jake! Good pose of the lion in attractive habitat. This should to be viewed large to enjoy the excellent detail. Well done!

Nicely done Jake! Excellent image. He looks like one you wouldn't want to mess with. The darker the mane normally denotes a mature, healthy lion with higher testosterone levels - he would be a real hit with the females!

When we were in Zambia we had no problem with the blonde maned lions, but then a real black maned male appeared and was even reported as attacking a couple of the safari land cruisers and really frightening the occupants. He was very fired up!

Thanks Carol: I have not been to Zambia but it is on my bucket list so hopefully someday. However, I don't want to meet up with the one Lion that attacked the vehicles - which must have been Very Scary.
