This is a much-condensed picture post from this past weekend! I took a lot of photos. And a decent amount of video!

You saw the lions!!!! EPIC JEALOUSY ATTACK!!!!

Wait, weren't the maneating lions male? Confused.
Hi Sue, mummies and aquarium. Look, a sunny day!

Yup, they were male - apparently the area that they're from host a great deal of maneless male lions. I didn't know there were adult male lions without manes, but... the more you know!

Huh, maybe lacking the gene to produce the mane has increased the chance of maneating behavior. Since female lions dig males with big manes, these males couldn't get a pride to feed them and so went for a easy prey-humans.

Something to ponder today while I'm at work.

Next time, I am going with you. Hands down.

We're talking about going to Boston for the next one. Maybe late spring, early summer. Depends on what sort of specials there are.
