michali Posted December 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) M8 & 90mm Elmar 1954 model This male lion had just come out of a serious punch-up with another 2 younger lions who were trying to move in on his turf & his females. He saw them off rather quickly and then lay down taking in the late afternoon sun. Thanks for viewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
