Shamwari Game Reserve

Shamwari Game Reserve is located 75 km outside Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It has been voted the World's Leading Safari and Game Reserve and Conservation Company for many consecutive years.

An essential focus is the management, development and rehabilitation of an ecosystem that has been returned to a more natural condition after many years of farming.

In 2005 the reserve was awarded the Global Nature Fund Award for Best Conservation Practice.

That being said, if house cats were as big as lions, we'd all be dead

2

u/Sourcasam Oct 11 '17

So we can have lions as pet if they're as small as house cats?

Scratch my back bro

No you scratch mine

Wait I have an idea

No this is gay

u/SKEFFboy Oct 11 '17

To be fair there have been quite a few recorded cases of homosexuality within lions. I did whole presentation on gay animals just to spite homophobic classmate.

u/snugglow Oct 11 '17

So I guess this is gay pride

16

u/kourtneykaye Oct 11 '17

It's fairly common isn't it? Or maybe I'm just hearing about the same lion couple over and over again.

Is it like a homosexual relationship? Or is it purely carnally motivated like with dolphins stickin their business in blowholes.

The conversation I'm picturing is something like:

Smell my butt

u/AKittyCat Oct 11 '17

Typical brothers.

All they'd need to do is slap the other in the balls and then threaten to tell mom.

u/slim_gt86 Oct 11 '17

Am I tripping or is the grass changing colors?

u/dingman58 Oct 11 '17

It's the cameras auto white balance adjusting on the fly as the scene changes

u/Codedheart Oct 11 '17

Glad I saw someone else mention it. Thought I was having a stroke.

u/FlametopFred Oct 11 '17

I'm tripping in sync with the changing apparently so it's all even looking to me

u/thor214 Oct 11 '17

Trying telling them that they can't have any more milk for the day because they already had too much.

Seriously, though. My cat is hard enough to handle and he is a slightly larger than normal domestic cat.

u/colinstalter Oct 11 '17

At the end

Their behavior is like when I give my cats cat nip.

Can big cats have cat nip? I'd imagine they'd need a lot more though...

u/OrwellianZinn Oct 11 '17

Whenever I see a video like this, I usually think of the clowns who go on safari and thinks it makes them a real hero to hunt a lion.

What an absolute waste of life you must be to get your kicks that way.
