Mrs. Lion has a bath...
I love her eyes. And the tounge looks the same as any tabby. By the way, I've cleaned these up in Photoshop and sized them for the web but they are not cropped in any way. We were only about 30-40 feet away from them at the watering hole.
These lions were raised for canned hunts. Those are the kind of hunt where some wealthy prick pays a lot of money and gets to shoot a lion that has been cage raised. They were rescued by The Born Free Foundation and because they were never out in the wild too much they must be fed by the reserve. They are typically given a dead cow or horse or something else along that line. They are neutered because they would not be able to train their young to survive. The male doesn't seem to know he is fixed and he enjoys his sessions with the females. By the way, when non-neutered lions do mate and a female is fertile the male can mate up to 75 times in a 24 hour period! A real Cassanova!
