Description: Two brothers from the Moniko Pride greet one another & reinforce their bonds as brothers

Story from behind the lens: We had spent most of the morning with the three males from the Moniko Pride & one of the lionesses on a kill. Gradually each of the males walked away from the kill, & we decided to follow one of them to see where they would head to. After a short walk & scanning the horizon he settled behind a bush & shortly after was joined by one of his brothers. I hoped that they would greet one another & luckily there was a wonderful display of bonding between them for a couple of minutes where I was able to capture the softer side of these apex predators.
