Reproductively Prime-aged Tsavo Lion 2

Caption

This six-to-eight-year-old, robust Tsavo lion in his reproductive prime has a scant mane yet he was the dominant of two males in his 10-lion pride, which included at least four adult females. This photo was taken near the Kenderi swamp at 600 meters above sea level.
