Botswana blond lions pictures

[Luis Almeida]

Anyone has pictures of trophy lions of Botswana? A friend of mine was telling me that nowadays no Kalahari lions are really wild but I mentioned to him that the lion hunting in Botswana was very good, and the kalahari produced fine trophies, but I don´t seem to find any picture of them, either blond or black maned lions, the pictures I see are from okavango or south african lions.

Why would someone claim that Kalahari lions are not really wild?

Because of the lion hunting done in south africa, many are advertised as kalahari lions, or claimed to be from there.

The Okavango is in Botswana by the way..

Gee, if it wasn’t for the explosion of people I’d love to have seen where that went in a few 10’s of thousands of years.

From the book, 'The Hunting Blackbeards of Botswana.' This incredible lion was hunted by Gavin Blackbeard (yes, a direct descendant of the famous pirate) on his cattle post near Serowe. One of the biggest I've ever seen.
