An absolutely gorgeous lion was caught on camera striking a pose on the Serengeti, Tanzania. His proudly attitude and the way he’s shaking his tremendous mane looks like he tries to remind everyone that he’s ‘The King.’

The superb snaps were caught on camera by the wildlife photographer Alex Kirichko. The 52-year-old Switzerland-based photographer was on the Namiri Plains in Serengeti, Tanzania, when spotted the majestic beast. Caught amid a storm, he managed to get some dramatic snaps of the lion while his impressive mane is whipped by the strong wind.

“I went specifically to Namiri Plains to photograph the huge amounts of lions and cheetahs that there is there,” Alex told CATERS NEWS. “It was in the morning and I was waiting for a storm to come to get some dramatic pictures. The wind was very strong.”

While exploring the view, Alex immediately noticed the massive lion sitting on the rocks just like he was waiting for the camera. “When I spotted the lion, I couldn’t help but notice that he seemed to be posing for me,” the lucky photographer said. “I felt like I was a top fashion photographer!”
