Get out of here! This is the amusing sight of a lion appearing to be poked in the eye by a fly!
The lioness was seen pulling all sorts of comical faces as she attempted to shake off a pesky fly buzzing around her head.
The lioness proved that not just humans get irritated by flies. With one eye closed and shaking her head from side to side, she demonstrated that flies are no exception.
A lion makes a funny face.
The funny images were captured by field guide Michael Anderson.
While conducting a tour at Ngala Private Game Reserve, Michael, 28, captured the amusing photos.
“This was a complete surprise to me,” he added.
Pulling all kinds of funny facial expressions
“After watching the lioness get agitated by the flies for a while, I wondered if I might catch the shaking of her head.”
The lioness raises her head and has moisture clinging to the fur around her mouth after struggling to get at the water for a while.
“Flies are attracted to the droplets since it’s hot and dry at that time of year, and there is no water available for them to drink,” says Adrian.
The funny images were captured by field guide Michael Anderson.
It was amusing because she was so thirsty, yet equally frustrated by the flies.
“I adore the photos since these lions can be extremely ferocious when hun.ti.ng, and they are the most powerful of all hu.nt.ers. However, a simple fly keeps this lioness preoccupied.”
