Lion’s lunch

Yves Roumazeilles — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:41:33 +0000

This lion is also eating a gnu.

You will easily notice that flies are a very common insect around big cats. No, these are not black defects on the image.

The lionness lunch

Yves Roumazeilles — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 19:15:56 +0000

Found in the morning, this lionness had just kill a gnu (wildebeest). After eating most of it, she actually tried to hide the carcass in order to avoid seeing it stolen by others (hyenas or vultures, for example).

Big cats images on my new web site

Yves Roumazeilles — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:59:08 +0000

If you are interested, you can find some of my images about big cats (lions, leopards, cheetahs) on my new web site YLoveBigCats.com. As you certainly have noticed, some of these images come from my recent trip to Kenya (Masai Mara).

Lions in the Kenya morning

A few images of lion females on YLoveBigCats.com (Kenya 2008).

Lion portraits

Yves Roumazeilles — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:33:50 +0000

I published a few shots of lions. Portraits taken in the Masai Mara park (Kenya). My prefered is the following one:

If you click on the thumbnail image, you will enlarge it. And you may notice that the photographer (and its car) are appearing in the eye of the lion.

But there are several other images taken nearly at the same time on the original Big Cats web site. Yes! This is another of my web sites. Actually, YLoveBigCats.com is a separate location to publish information specifically about the big felines of the world (and some of the my photos of them).

Back from Masai Mara

Yves Roumazeilles — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:11:30 +0000

After about 10 days out of France, I am back from the Masai Mara National Reserve (in Kenya). I brought back about 30 GB of wildlife photos (around 1700-1800 images) to be sorted out in the coming days. You can expect series of published images here on a regular basis.

Kenya in photo safari

Yves Roumazeilles — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:20:26 +0000

You will probably notice a little slow down in publication of posts here in the coming days: I am travelling for a few days to Kenya in order to shoot photos in the Masai Mara National Park during the great migration of herbivores (wildebeests and zebras, mostly).

I will be there with Alain Pons, wildlife photographer, and supported by Amawanda travel agent.

Images later here.

A lion without travelling to Africa

Yves Roumazeilles — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 11:13:27 +0000

Even better than going to Africa, you can have your own lion pet, cute lion cub at home.

Furry and reacting to its environment, this is really a cool robot toy.

Jaws, on firm ground

Yves Roumazeilles — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:03:45 +0000

Feline teeth are their most prominent exterior feature. Since the prehistoric Smilodon (the smiling feline) and its gigantic canines, big cats use their impressive dental characteristics to hunt.

On the Laelaps web site, you will find a detaileld article on feline teeth, from yesterday to nowadays: What big teeth you have. Please, also notice the hunting videos (lions hunting elephant, lions hunting a giraffe).

Cheetahs and elephants roaming free in USA

Yves Roumazeilles — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:23:52 +0000

Yesterday, we were speaking here about prehistoric big cats in places where they disappeared (e.g. Europe). Today, I want to point at a surprising proposal made by Josh Donlan.

Recognizing that many big cats were roaming in North America tens of thousands of years ago, he want to re-introduce lions, cheetahs, elephants and other large animals in North America. He admits that this could be a bit difficult and that there is no way to rebuild the original population. But he offers ideas about how to bring camels and lions (from the closest relatives species) to a country were they were last seen hundreds of centuries ago.

Of course, it sounds a lot like Jurassic Park for real. Are you ready to find in the United States cheetahs hunting pronghorn bucks in the Wild West (wild again) or in Montana?

Cheetahs, pumas and jaguars of Europe

Yves Roumazeilles — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:07:06 +0000

Found on Tretrapod Zoology, a series of articles about prehistoric felines among which one can find big cats like lions, pumas, jaguars, cougars, cheetahs or leopards on continents where they totally disappeared later.
