Awesome pictures, and I appreciate your sharing them, but what a bunch of drivel from the website and the "author."

If the lioness walked away, albeit bleeding a bit, she didn't actually make the "ultimate" sacrifice.

She certainly might have been prepared to do so, but it's crappy pop-culture {trolling} websites like the one that posted these photos [the types that make you click through each photo to push their advertising numbers] that will write anything to get people to click.

Crap like that leads to the whole Cecil-the-Lion types of reactions.

Still an awesome set of photos. Shame they have to be so whored-up to get any attention.
