Up Close with Majestic Lions | A Day at Auckland Zoo

"It's news to me that lions can be calmer than tigers, I guess we learn something new everyday lol."

The above was @takhar's comment when I responded that the lions at the zoo were calm unlike the Tigers, so I thought I'd rather share the photos and videos of the lions to give a better judgment of my experience.

It is a pity I didn't see a male lion but I have seen one in South Africa from a distance so I am quite pleased to have seen these lionesses at close range.

These part of the zoo had more people's focus, everyone likes lions so it was obvious people stared at them a while before moving on. I even left to the hippos on the opposite side and came back to the lions for more viewing.

These lions are so majestically beautiful and calm you would've think they could be this relaxed when the attack their prey.

Powerful animals in every sense. The females have a different kind of ferocity. Your photos capture that strange spirit.

Majestically beautiful indeed! They look so relaxed and free, less tense and anxious compared to the tigers I've seen on your previous post! No wonder they're named the king/queen of the jungle :)

Even though they sometimes have to retreat from fighting other animals at times considering the situation. The lion is truly the king of the jungle. Absolutely great and fearless animals.
