Lion Brothers

This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos

The Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Headcorn, Kent, England, is home to three African lion brothers. The brothers were born at Woburn Safari Park before being moved to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation. The Wildlife Heritage Foundation is a U.K.-based charity for the protection and preservation of big cat species.

Here one of the lions grooms his brother after they had finished eating.”

In a very different magazine, Adbuster’s, uses the caption “The Virtual World” to give a whole new type of meaning to their image of two people, covered in saran wrap, getting “intimate.” Suddenly the viewer translates the image into a reference about cyber-intimacy, whereas the image was just weird before.
