Ageless Style

Totally by accident, I just discovered the most marvelous blog, Advanced Style, which shows some very stylish ladies of all ages.

This photo, in particular, caught my eye:

This is Lady Francesca Todd with a lion that attacked her Kenya in 1965.

Can you just imagine the adventures this lady has had throughout her very interesting life?

Johannesburg zoo worker killed by lion

On February 14, a lioness sprung at the throat of zoo worker Joe Ramonetha and killed him. Apparently, security gates were left open while Ramonetha was feeding the 11-year-old lioness or cleaning out her enclosure at the Johannesburg Zoo.

The 63-year-old was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. This is the zoo's first fatal animal attack in 50 years.

Remember Leo the Lion?

Leo the Lion is the mascot for the Hollywood film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and one of its predecessors, Goldwyn Pictures, featured in the studio's production logo. Slats was the first lion used for the newly-formed MGM studio. He was born at Dublin Zoo, Ireland on March 20, 1919. The photo above is Slats the Lion being filmed for his cinematic debut as the MGM Logo, c. 1924. Slats was used on all black-and-white MGM films between 1924 and 1928. Slats was trained to growl rather than roar (although in the logo he did nothing but look around), and for the next couple of years, the lion would tour with MGM promoters to signify the studio's launch. Slats died in 1936. His skin is now on display at the McPherson Museum, in Kansas. The original logo was designed by Howard Dietz and used by the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation studio from 1916 to 1924. PHOTO 1: via The Daily What PHOTO 2: Wikipedia

Mom to the rescue

This incredible scene was captured minutes after a herd of buffalo tried to drive a lioness and her babies from their den. The watchful lioness carefully nestled each one-day-old cub between her jaws and padded to a nearby bush for safety in Okavago, Botswana. Source

Saving white lions

A family of extremely rare white lions are about to be released into the wild in a step conservationists hope will save their 'species' from being condemned to captivity. White lioness Zihra, her mate Mandla and their three one-year-old cubs - sons Zukhara and Matsienge and daughter Nebu - are due to be freed in South Africa within the next few days. They were each knocked out with an anaesthetic recently so that scientists could collar the big cats. This will help track the pride across the savannah in the future. Source and More Photos
