@gorillatrekkinguganda: When she's ready to mingle but he already ran the pride last night. 😅🥱 * Here is the science behind the "Cold Shoulder" you are witnessing: Lionesses are induced ovulators. This means the act of mating itself triggers the release of an egg. So when she's in heat, she needs to mate up to 100 times in 48 hours to guarantee conception. * The male? He’s not being rude; he's physically drained. During a mating bout, a lion pair will mate every 20-30 minutes for days straight. They barely eat or sleep, losing significant body mass. * If you want to witness the raw drama of the African savanna (and maybe see this standoff turn into a romance), book your adventure today. * 📧 [email protected] 📱 +256757291063 🌐 www.tribesgorillatrekkingtours.com #lionmating #safarilife #animalbehavior #uganda #wildlifewednesday
