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…..
I know…..it has been a few weeks since my last visit
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
The PURRfect pair…..Pelo & Shakura
Yep, I know…..move along! That’s enough photos!
I’m moving along, Shakura! Just needed a couple pics of you both together.














What a lovely pair. Beautiful winter photos. Thanks, Michelle.

Dear Michelle!
I agree with the previous writers. I can well understand why this magnificent pair of lions is loved.
Thank you for these unusual photos of adult lions in the snow!

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,
Anita
