A large wild free roaming dominant male white lion mating with a white adult lioness. Its an intense few seconds and extremely painful for the female as the male lions penis has "barbs" which lacerate the females side walls during coitus.This is painful and why females often lash out or growl at the male when he releases her. He will mount and do this every 20 min or so for a few days.
