A big lion guards his Gemsbok Breakfast as a rival approaches from afar ..What a fight when he finally arrived but they eventually tolerated each other with lots of growls , snot en trane

I noticed many lions had these dark legs particularly near Mata Mata ..I am still trying to find out what causes this
