## Caption

"A #Maasai coming-of-age ceremony in a remote village in #Loliondo, Northern #Tanzania. Two of the young warriors in this ceremony are wearing a lion-mane head-dress from a lion they speared 3 years ago, despite the practice being illegal in Tanzania. The Maasai have a long history of lion-killing, both as a proving ground for young warriors and also to protect their cattle from lion attacks." - brentstirton | November 2, 2012 | #GettyReportage
