A video from Newsflare's archive of a lioness lashing out at a male who tries to initiate mating.

In the video, which was filmed on Thursday in Kruger National Park, the male gives the lioness a suggestive sniff and she rushes him, swiping with her paw and growling.

The male immediately backs down.

"One can clearly see the embarrassment on his face," the filmer wrote online.

This Lion tried to initiate mating with the Lioness but she would have none of it. In a short burst of fury, she swung around and lashed out at the Lion. One can clearly see the embarrassment on his face.....
Lioness Shows Lion who is Boss !

A couple of Mating Lions up close in Kruger National Park,South Africa

This couple of mating Lions were seen next to the road near Crocodile Bridge Camp in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
It is not clear if this was in the beginning or end of the mating period but what is clear is that the Lioness either was not ready yet or was over her estrus period.
In an attempt to initiate mating(or out of frustrasion), the Lion bit her on the bum !
She immediately reacted by showing him who is boss !
