A FIGHT BETWEEN 2 MALE LIONS

These 2 male lions have been fighting for dominance on the reserve for the last few weeks.  Watching them run towards us and feeling the energy in the air and knowing what I was about to witness, gave me goose bumps!
And when it began, I did get goose bumps!


The sounds coming from the lions were amazing! Nothing like I've ever heard before. 

The oldest lioness came out to try and help defeat the intruder.






It lasted a  maximum of 60 seconds, but it felt like it went on for hours! 
Battle wounds from one of the lions.  He later tried to lie down but he was so sore he couldn't find a comfortable position and ended up just standing around watching the lioness and her 2 cubs, keeping a watchful eye out for the other male.
