African lions on a road, Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa

Caption

Young African lions (Panthera leo) on the road in Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa. When they leave their mothers, young male lions have to disperse to find new territories. To do this, they travel through the savannah, now dominated by roads and tourist activities, which have an impact on their behaviour and movements.
