Mating rituals of lions - Did you know?Lions do not have a specific mating season as they are influenced by factors like food availability and females being in estrus. Mating only lasts a few seconds to a minute at a time. It is repeated multiple times a day. When a lioness is ready to mate, she rubs her head against a male’s face to strengthen the bond with a potential mate. Male lions use roaring as a form of courtship display as it showcases their dominance and readiness to mate.🦁😻📷 @jembu
