Mating Lions- pic 2 of 3: 'The Act'. Masai Mara, Kenya
Second pic of three in this series. Some males bite the lioness' nape when mating.... this one is more affectionate. Lions mate every 15 to 20 minutes for up to three days. The lioness is an 'induced ovulator'- requiring the stimulus of repeated copulation to release ova.
