...and with this many ticks on you, wouldn't you need a scratch?
This young male lion was part of a pride of 6 in the Kalahari desert (Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park). The pride was waking up from their afternoon nap, with the sun already dipping behind the dun you see in the background.

, but I would say then it would be 1/3 of the way between mine and yours (more weighted towards mine) given the conditions I remember. For example, this is a black-maned Kalahari lion, and the adjustments you made in the repost take away the first hints of darker/blacker coloration which are starting to develop in his mane...
