LION STARE
CATEGORY: WILLY-NILLY POST DATE: 31st MAY 2025
“Come here and give me a big hug,” said the lion. “Trust me, I won’t bite.” So I did and now I have one fewer arm. Luckily I snapped this photo before losing the limb.
This majestic African Lion is Subu, resident of Colchester Zoo in 2008. We stared at each other for two minutes. He's not at at the zoo now, due to becoming dead in 2010. If you visit now, you'll likely see Bailey. He looks quite similar to Subu: 'gloomy'.

"Reminds me of Aslan."

"That is an exceptional shot. Locking eyes with an animal can be a special moment anyway. Locking eyes with an animal that could have you for dinner is something else...."

"He's amazing"
