Estrus is a crucial part of the reproductive cycle for female lions. As a lioness approaches estrus, her body undergoes significant hormonal changes. These changes trigger a series of behaviours meant to signal her readiness to mate.
Once a lioness is in estrus, she becomes highly motivated to find a suitable male. When a lioness finds a suitable partner, courtship rituals commence, usually with nuzzling, grooming, and a mutual display of affection.
The “Dance of Love” video was taken whilst on tour in the Central Kalahari game reserve in Botswana.
