| Lions in Nogorongoro Crater | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Caught these lions mating in the Ngorongoro Crater in February 2007. When they mate they seem oblivious to the rest of the world. They will mate 200+ times in a week.

Voted 10/10 | of a picture. What an amazing shot and unless you were using a telephoto lens, it seems like you are right in the middle of the "action". | | Posted Nov 7, 2007 2:00 pm |

Hasn't voted | The shot was taken with a telephoto lens. I was using a 70-300 zoom. I don't remember how much I had it zoomed but we were plenty close enough to hear the male growling when I took the shot. | | Posted Nov 16, 2007 6:44 pm |

Hasn't voted | It probably depends on which book you read or which NG show you watch on TV. From local reports at the Ngorongoro park these two mated for 8 days! | | Posted Nov 8, 2007 1:22 pm |
| Zzyzx | A real action shot | | Voted 10/10 | If this was a pic of mating llamas, we'd have another Photo of the Week :D
