All of the photos in this gallery were taken in a controlled shoot in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park on the Arizona/Utah border. For fans of the "Duke" this is where the calvary trilogy was filmed. The lion was provided by "Animals of Montana". His name is Mufasa and, as you can see, he is really photogenic. This sub species of lion (Barbary lion) is unfortunately no longer seen in the wild. The entire population is believed to be in the 200 to 500 range. Note that the mane goes completely under the animal to the back legs. He is truly Mufasa the magnificent. We hope that you enjoy the photos.
