Close Encounter with Majesty: Photographer’s Startling Experience with a Roaring Lion

A huge lion scares the photographer with a loud roar, then smiles at him.😱🤗🦁

There is no better career for animal lovers than wildlife photography in my opinion. They often get a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with Mother Nature and her beautiful creatures.

Gran Sowerby is one lucky individual. The 69-year-old British photographer has spent the last 40 years of his life pursuing his passion for wildlife photography. Gren admits that his job is fulfilling and that spending time with wild creatures is always fun. But he still went through “the shock of his life” in Kenya’s Masai Mara last month.

During a safari, an experienced photographer observed a magnificent lion at a distance of 40-50 feet. He naturally posed for some stunning photos with the king of the forest. Only the king decided to fool Gren.

Sowerby told the South West News Service. “I got the shock of my life. “He let out a loud scream just as I leaned in to shoot.” Then I couldn’t believe it when he smiled at me and said: winking. “I’m the king of the jungle,” he growled.

The giant lion surprised the photographer with a loud, terrifying roar before turning and smiling at him. Of course, despite how terrifying it was, Grenn stayed there and photographed the wonderful scene.

Gran Sowerby says: “I was really happy with the pictures, but I didn’t analyze them until I got home. I go on these safaris often and I adore photographing the animals. It’s always important to get a good photo of the King of the Jungle and I’m glad I did.
