Lions Mating..

While on the way to the Santa Fe Zoo, we stopped to see the lions and watched as the lion began to bite the lioness and I understood that something great could happen and soon after you can see how the lions mate is something very beautiful in nature because in this way you can preserve their species.

Males use their hair to appear larger than their enemies. Because it is found mainly around your head and neck, it allows you to protect yourself from fierce attacks from other males when they compete for females in your herd.

When the lion has this dense, dark fur it is more attractive to its females, this is usually associated with a symbol of a very healthy specimen.
