Hubert rubs up against the tall foliage at the back of the lion exhibit to spread his scent as a way of marking his territory. Taken in early summer 2009 at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA.

Oh no that's so sad! The lions in this zoo previously were getting very old, they were 18 I think, and still in good health. I got to know the big cat keeper pretty well and she's been taking care of the male since he was one year old so she joked that she'd take him in and let him run around her backyard in Seattle :)
