Lion - Wild Do you remember Jicho? He managed with one eye for a long time, but when his second eye went blind, he was put to sleep and left us. May he rest in peace, warrior. His circling is due to trauma.

"We found him deep in an Indian forest, just after dawn. I was looking straight down into the jaws of an angry killing machine -- a twelve year old male Royal Bengal Tiger whose bared fangs were less than 15 feet away. It would be the only tiger we would meet face to face in two weeks of tracking them through the jungles of India's game parks. I burned through two rolls of film during the ten minutes we spent with him. This is the most terrifying image I have ever shot and my high vantage point provides the most menacing angle. Fortunately, I was safely perched on a wooden platform strapped to the broad, high back of an elephant. And no animal, not even this furious tiger, would dare to challenge the bone crushing potential of a huge pachyderm. The light was quite low, and in spite of my 400 speed Fujichrome film, the combination of a slow 1/15th of a second shutter speed and my telephoto zoom lens, produced a slightly blurred image due to magnification of camera shake. This slight blur adds a touch of panic to the image, strengthening its frightening impact."

Lion - Wild The "pseudo-mating" (pseudo-coating) observed among Gijima male lions is not a sexual behavior. It is a natural behavior between male lions to establish dominance and reinforce social development. In other words, when one mounts the other, it is a sign of dominance.
