A foggy day with Pelo and Shakura

1.2.2024 by Michelle Rippey

I happen to love the lion pair Pelo and Shakura in the Henry Vilas Zoo. There are times Pelo does something that brings back beautiful memories of our Themba (aka Chunky). Here are some fun pics of this majestic pair.

Hello, handsome Pelo! You woke from your quick catnap…..

Our Themba used to do this…..

Handsome, Pelo at the viewing window. Oh, oh….I think I’m being watched

Where did you come from, Shakura?

Yep, she inserted herself between the window & Pelo….

It’s hard to give a rub when your lady lion is interfering 🙂

I moved to a different spot to attempt a better pic….

Take that Shakura! Pelo also nipped her in the booty when she kept interfering with his rubs

  3. Dear Michelle

    The two are a beautiful couple.
    He wants to show you in all his glory and then the woman manages to push herself in front of her husband. I laughed out loud.
    Thanks for the nice pictures.

    Hugs,
