A male lion has been captured in this funny picture in a posture that somewhat closely resembles a professional pole dancer mid-routine. The picture features the magnificent creature wrapped around what looks to be a tree trunk in a posture that would make any cabaret artist proud. The situation gains a brilliant element of human humour from the photographer's sharp remark on lions having to diversify their money sources. The lion's usually royal attitude contrasts with this surprisingly elegant yet humorous posture producing an image that questions our conventional wisdom of male lions as indolent pride members who let the females handle all the work. This photo captures the king of the jungle in a moment implying he might have a secret ability for amusement unknown to everyone, and its timing is exactly ideal.
