Paul Goldstein a wildlife photographer and a tour guide for Exodus Travels captured one of the rarest pictures in history in Maasai Mara National Park. The image of two lions atypically close to each other caused a frenzy in social media.
“When lions mate it normally lasts a few seconds, these two were at it for over a minute and the obvious affection afterwards was very evident, as opposed to the violent withdrawal when male and female mate,” Goldstein reported. “Even as he dismounted he did not back off as is normal after mating, he crept round to the other male’s muzzle, for a nuzzle and threw a conspiratorial wink his way,” he added.
