Where's the charge? Where is the dust flying? Where is the lion stretched out in a dead run? Looks to me like a warning growl at distance with a high definition, high magnification camera. Nice camera. It's someone's idea of a real, death-defying charge, I guess. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

FYI, Guys for your own edification...it is the % of black vs. pink on the nose...NOT...that the nose be totally black. Maybe Bwanamich will chime in here and give us an estimate based on that. But...that nose has a fair amount of black. Another thing...if you will listen to what Bwanamich says when he talks about the % black on the nose...you WILL learn something...cause...he does know what he is talking about...I will bet the ranch (or the hospital in my case) on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Figure 1. Relationship between known age and nose pigmentation for adult male and female lions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater: (•) Serengeti females (n=62); (s) Serengeti males (n=22); (°) Crater females (n=11); (Δ) Crater males (n=10) (Whitman, et al. 2004). Males with at least 60% of the nose pigmented are about 6 yrs old. So...I estimated that lion at about 60% black pigmentation...estimates him at ~6 yrs of age...so maybe you guys should have been saying 60% black nose...he has got potential. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Guys & Gals, The nose thing is just a tool. It is not the end-all-beat-all criteria. But...it does have merit and those that hunt lion should try to learn it. Those that poo-poo it having merit...really just show how truly ignorant they are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Frostbit, Wasn't really aimed at you...sorry! But...everyone is quick to poke humor at the nose-color tool as if it is with out merit. The truth is that it has a lot of validity. Maybe not useful in every situation...but a valuable tool none-the-less. The lion in that picture along with the comments...show that some have not studied the process as that nose had a fair amount of black on it and it is the % color change that matters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

As clean and fluffed as he is it looks like a taxi'd lion that was staged. His hair is perfect!!! "....but to protest against all hunting of game is a sign of softness of head, not of soundness of heart." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

Maybe the lion is just very self conscious. "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||
