Some interesting facts about lions:

1. Lions have been mistakenly called the "king of the Jungle," but the fact is, lions do not inhabit jungles.
2. While lions have also been referred to as the "king of the beasts," this is only partially true. Lions, in their habitats, are kings of the predatory beasts, but they can be easily backed down or killed by elephants and water buffalo. A pack of hyenas can also back down or even kill a solitary lion!
3. When it comes to mating, lions are the champions! Lions can copulate up to as many as 100 times in a 24 hr. period!
4. Lions are the only true social members of the cat family and live in groups called prides.
5. Lions run at a rate of 50 mph (81 kmph).
6. Lions sleep up to 20 hours a day.
7. Female lions reach two thirds of their adult size by the time they are 2 years old.
8. Males begin to really grow between 3 and 3 1/2 years and by 4 will be almost their adult size and weight.
9. Both males and females continue to grow until they are 6 years old, primarily becoming more massive.

Salut Dan

Superba compilatie cu aceste imagini foarte reusite!
Momentul intr-adevar e unul spectaculos iar pozele sunt de calitate foarte buna!
Imi place cum ai reusit sa prinzi cate o grimasa a fiecaruia dintre ei. Iar idea cu LP-ul a fost una foarte buna.
Detalii misto, culori foarte frumoase si o lumina excelenta duc la o compozitie superba.

Bravo si TFS
Horia

PS: de curiozitate, ce este acolo in BG? par a fi ceva ruine...:)

Hey Sochirca,

good work on capture and presentation :D
Cheers,

Hi Sochirca,

Good combination of captures with a great note, it was a pleasure for me to read your didactic note after a heavy working day.Perhaps not to lose quality you've chosen small images I wish they'd be much bigger so that we could see more details.

Well Done & TFS.

Hello Sochirca,
I really enjoyed your notes about lions. There are many things that I didn't know about them. Also those pictures are well done with good action catch and POV. My only nit is I think that they are a little small, so it is difficult for us to see all the details. Update, I see the larger version and it is wonderful! Congratualtions! Great presentation. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Sochirca, some good action you captured there. It doesn't look very tender does it! Good set of three, each is a good picture. Well done.
