This is not the first time a lion has been on the receiving end of a furious lioness.
In January, George Hart captured an angry lioness roaring into the face of the lion in the Central Serengeti, Tanzania during his first ever African safari.
The lion was spotted cowering away in fear and covering his face with his paw during the fierce lovers’ tiff.
In July, game reserve manager, Giuseppe D’amico, spotted an enraged lioness slapping her partner across the face on the green plains of Tanzania in the Ndutu area.
The fighting pair were also seen baring their teeth at each other during the domestic dispute.
