Pride males don't get much finer nor majestic than BJ aka Bob Jnr, son of one of the famous male coalition known as Bob and Ziggy*, (so named for both their impressive manes that grew so long they formed dreadlocks). BJ, now nearly 8 yrs old, is also starting to develop those famous locks and a dead ringer for his dad. We found him one early morning atop a small kopje waking up to survey his kingdom. Central Serengeti- TZ. Nikon D500 Nikkor 500PF f/4 E FL VR f/5.6 1/1000s ISO180 -0.3 EV Cheers Marc *Bob & Ziggy recently became the oldest documented coalition pair with both @ 15 years of age, to survive in the wild, Bob died of injuries last May after a territorial battle with a much younger male and Ziggy now 16 is still alive but now seriously looking his age when I saw him last month and could be in his final year. This pair managed to father cubs from 3 different sequential prides. What an amazing achievment! |
