A pair of mating lions share an intimate day under this romantically arched bush that shades them and provides them with some privacy. After a long courtship, the male and female would typically disappear off on their own into a quiet place to mate every 15 minutes or so throughout the day. Although for animals, sex is primarily a breed survival thing, this image I made throws the instinct-driven, animal act into a romantic light, catching them when they are... well,.. intimately sleeping together.
