Cat nap? More like cat gnatsÉ This lioness is swarmed by hundreds of flies as they interrupt her afternoon snooze. She was keeping cool in the shade in the Masai Mara, Kenya. The moment was pictured by Remi Vacher who said, ÒThere were hundreds of flies buzzing around. It is common for lions to attract flies, due to the dampness and scent they emanate, both of which are irresistible to insects." "The lioness was seen resting alongside other females, which likely attracted the flies. In the picture, the lioness can be seen making attempts to ward off the flies, by swiping at them and trying to hit them out of the air.Ó Please byline: Remi Vacher/Solent News © Remi Vacher/Solent News & Photo Agency UK +44 (0) 2380 458800 *** Local Caption *** - Where was this?
