male lion posing

and this is what males lions do....
lying around posing for tourists or enjoying the sun or whatever....
but I have the feeling they like to be observed...but maybe the lion just likes to see tourists in safari cars......we are the prisoners and he is laughing as he is the one living in the wilderness and running around freely while we are driven around in a car with a lot of cage sticks around us....so who is observing whom?
