Description: A mating pair had a short spell where the female was not interested in mating, however, the male was persistent to the point of bullying the female.
Story from behind the lens: We found 2 different pairs of mating lions and as the sun was setting one of the males was more persistent to the point of bullying the female. He chased her around and shadowed her every move. I managed to get this shot when he ran with the female with his hopes high... only to be shut down for about half an hour.
