A recently taken picture shows a large cat weighing 226 kg hugging a tree.
This unusual shot in Amboseli National Park in Kenya was taken by Brazilian photographer Julius Dadalti.
«I think he was marking his territory,» the man said.
«I was watching a beautiful pride in which several cubs were playing with two moms.»
«The king was lying down and behaved lazily, after that he decided to take a walk. After a few seconds, the lion returned and started playing with the palm tree.It was a funny and absolutely beautiful sight, because it was like a show. Sometimes he even looked at me.»
«Amboseli lions are great at this time of year,» he added. «There is no doubt that these are amazing animals.»
