It’s World Lion Day! In 1967,LIFE published a 14 page photo essay approximately the king of beasts, THE LION. “Indolent (lazy), and playful,amorous, yet in his strength, and ferocity and power,he is always the king of beasts. The image here was published and illustrates a male lion relaxing. According to LIFE. …having finished his parental duties, knowing he can rely on his females for food, and the lion stretches his head on a rock for the activity he spends some 17 hours of every day—sleeping.“ (John Dominis—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #WorldLionDay #Lions #TBT
