White Lion Mane

This is another image that I made in the "Lions Park" close to Johannesburg in South Africa. As described in my earlier post, this park keeps some seldom whilte lions and a runs a conservation programm with other similar instituions in South Africa. Some white lions have been reintroduced to the wild again, especially in areas close to the Kruger NP in South Africa where these lions have been seen first in the late 1930's. Anyhow sights are still very seldom ...

On my previous psot there was a wish to see more of the mane and hope this image shows it.

This certainly shows the mane well, Cay-Uwe, and I like the pose-distincly regal.  Superb detail in the larger image.
