The amorous male lion was spotted by a photographer striding over to his mate, mounting him and pinning him down at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster. The cheeky big cat even appeared to stick his tongue out at open-mouthed park visitors while on top of his friend, while a lioness was left to look on in disbelief.
The lion was seen pinning down another male in an apparent bid to mate with him - while a surly lioness looked on exasperated
The big cat even appeared to stick his tongue out at open-mouthed park visitors while on top of the other lion.
Mr Bridges, from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, said: 'There are two males and female in that pride. One of the lions suddenly got up, walked over and jumped on his friend's back.
'A fair few people were watching this going on and laughing - they were all commenting on what it looked like.
'I think it was a bit of a 'should have gone to Specsavers' moment as the lioness was just lying there next to them.
'In fairness though, every time a male went near her she snarled and swiped their faces with her paw.
'It's not really unusual for them to act that way sometimes. I don't know if it's a dominance thing or something like that - it looks as if they are aggressive, but it's all play between friends.'
