Cloudy Eye and Mpole courting and mating with Askari. Cloudy Eye had lost her cubs during filming before they were full term. She quickly came back in to season and began courting with the pride males Askari and Mpole. Courtship can be very intense and sometimes the courting couple come to blows. Lion society is ruled by the threat of violence, but they are so well armed that serious fights are rare so it can look much more violent than it is. 📸: thebigcatpeople abrahamjoffe . . . . . . . #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet #animaloftheday #wild #wildlife #outdoors #animals #wildanimals #conservation #nature #animallovers #instanature #wildgeography #wildlifeonearth #cats #bigcats #bigcattales #bigcatweek
