A lion has shown he can play things soft and hard with his lioness – nibbling her on the bottom and biting her neck before roaring at her during a session of tough love.
Leon the lion was seen grimacing at his sister Ronja today after cheekily biting her bum and detecting a scent that she was in heat.
The majestic beast roared as his sister rolled on the ground in front of him.
Leon was then also photographed nibbling on his sister's beck during their mating session today.
The display occurred at the Usti nad Labem Zoo in the Czech Republic
The Congolese lions have lived at zoo since 2005.
They immediately became a favourite attraction for visitors to the zoo after they were previously located at Halle zoo in Germany.
In 2015, Leon hit the headlines as the "mane attraction".
His perfect grooming went around the world.
Media marvelled at his gorgeous bouffant hairstyle.
