This sneaky monkey got to enjoy a tasty treat after it stole a lollipop from a tourist in the Kruger National Park.

For the monkey which Cheri Marks spotted in Afsaal in the Kruger National Park, it had been a very profitable day indeed, presumably to the detriment of some poor and heartbroken child somewhere else in the park.

When a lioness decided it was time to “do the deed”, her handsome companion was quickly up to the task. For all the fanfare, no sooner had it begun than it was over.

Female lions enter oestrus several times a year, provided they don’t have actively suckling young. When they do, they will actively seek out mates, showing no fidelity to their pride’s dominant males.

Once they find a mate, the pair typically remains together for several days. As seen in the video, copulation is a short-lived event. However, it is frequently repeated. On average, amorous lions will mate every 20 to 30 minutes over a 24-hour period. This amounts to roughly 50 copulations per day.
