This photo is by Amy Shutt. A great picture for me because we always see lions in hot weather in arid conditions. It is unusual to see them enjoying the rain and I bet they are enjoying it. They are friends. They are possibly brothers but that’s a guess. They are certainly related and happy to be in each other’s company.
SOME MORE ON THE LION MANE:
I’ve chosen a selection of articles on the lion mane because this special piece of anatomy is very evident in the photograph.
