Although the act lasts only a minute or two at most, lions mate up to 100 times a day during the breeding season. That's a serious undertaking - once every 15 min or so.

Reminds me of a trip that Harry Truman and his wife Bess made to a chicken farm. When the guide told Mrs. Truman that Roosters performed their "duties" over a hundred times a day she remarked "Please inform Mr. Truman of that fact".
When told the information Mr. Truman inquired "With the same chicken?" When the guide said no Mr truman repied "Please inform Mrs. Truman of that fact".
Cool pics.
Looking forward to more updates from you. Beautiful feline pictures. Any impacts on the mating habits of cats from climate change?
Beautiful photos. (The ones of the cats are pretty good too)
I like to paint wildlife as a hobby and do it from my own photos of cats (bobcat, mountain lion, and african lion) -- though I took my photos at a game farm and zoo. Not quite the same as in the "wild", but then again, I am free to create any background I like (I have my artistic license, you know.)
