Marina ventures into the Indian Ocean.


We were surprised to catch two lions mating! After coitus, the lioness rolls onto her back and lies with her legs in the air to ensure conception. Shamwari works with Born Free, an organization to protect animals. Several of the lions at Shamwari were rescued by the Born Free's Big Cat Project.
