Hi, I'm David Lazar - and I took this photo of the lion and the butterfly. Photography Website: www.davidlazarphoto.com.

[–]Azhdarkho 15 points16 points ago

Definitely visit his website, he has some pretty nice pictures.

[–]mindzipper 6 points7 points ago

Bah, misleading title. that's just a nancy boy lion

[–]giroml 1 point2 points ago

damn this guy can photo like a motherfuck

[–]bool_sheet 0 points1 point ago

Wow, just wow!

Edit: The photo I linked is from one of his albums. I thought it was the best!

[–]doctorbravado 1 point2 points ago

Absolutely beautiful images.

Said the butterfly to the lion.

[–]Krispyz 25 points26 points ago

"Holy fuck, a talking butterfly!"

[–]hemingwayszombycorps 7 points8 points ago

And as the little butterfly flew by, he whispered to the lion, "Bring back 80's speed metal..."

[–]JoylessMedic 7 points8 points ago

Wish I could put Randy Marsh's head on the butterfly

One would think lions would prefer to re-mane sober

It looks like Sudden Clarity Lion...or something...I don't know how to meme.

Definitely Mind_Virus back after his ban. Didn't even change the title of the repost: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/zel88/a_majestic_male_lion_reveals_his_inner_cub_as_he/

goddamn butterflies invading xbox live.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V AMIRITE, OP?

[–]N69sZelda 1 point2 points ago

dammit. OP faggothorn strikes again. Reposts are fine but what a douche.

[–]Fett2 -5 points-4 points ago

Am I the only person in the world who uses Shift+Ins for pasting?

[–]williamwzl 18 points19 points ago

yes.

[–]Fett2 -3 points-2 points ago

Hurray! I am unique and special snowflake!

[–]SimpleDan11 8 points9 points ago

More like a confused and inefficient one

[–]Fett2 0 points1 point ago

Shift+Ins is the same amount of keys to press as Ctr+V.

[–]Noor440 0 points1 point ago

Yes.

[–]mbetter 0 points1 point ago

Do you start your Excel formulas with @ as well?

[–]creepyswaps 9 points10 points ago

For some reason that lion reminds me of Jeff Goldblum.

[–]fortheconstant 4 points5 points ago

I see it.

[–]guilen 1 point2 points ago

I was going to say Willy Wonka

[–]ktotheooter 81 points82 points ago

I have Pathosis labeled as "DIRTY LIAR AND KARMA WHORE!" all he does is repost and lie. Do not upvote him!

[–]NonSequiturEdit 74 points75 points ago

I only downvote reposts if I've already seen them. Otherwise my upvote is an appropriate payment for the joy this picture has brought me, and I would not have seen this picture without somebody reposting it.

In short, please stop whining like a little bitch every time somebody reposts something.

[–]joannchilada 3 points4 points ago

I think it's stuff like this that ktotheooter is commenting about.

[–]ktotheooter 6 points7 points ago

Exactly. I don't mind reposts, I do mind it when people blatantly lie.

[–]NonSequiturEdit 2 points3 points ago

Well I'm with you there. Posting someone else's work and thereby getting it exposure is one thing. Claiming credit for it is worthy of a severe bitch-slap.

[–]Lilyo 2 points3 points ago

So you downvote it (because you've seen in and liked it) in hopes of making sure other people don't see it? Reddit gets the biggest fucking boner when it can complain about reposts.

[–]Mensketh 40 points41 points ago

Yes, thats how it should be, upvote the first time you see it, downvote it every time after, as long as there are more people who havent seen it than have, it will continue to appear which is fine but eventually more users will have seen it and will downvote it and that particular repost will die off.

[–]HonoraryMancunian 2 points3 points ago

Sometimes, I will upvote a post even if I've seen it posted on here before.

I am basically Satan.

[–]Yukfinn 5 points6 points ago

If something is interesting enough to pique your interest twice, the visibility isn't a negative thing.

[–]NonSequiturEdit -1 points0 points ago

Well stated. I wish more people had a basic grasp of practical statistics.

[–]Xomz -2 points-1 points ago

This is not true. Every thread i see that points out a repost is filled with comments like these, or, better yet, "it deserves my upvote because its new to me!"

[–]Jar_of_Jam 14 points15 points ago

[–]Numlocks 0 points1 point ago

Not my precious upvotes!!!!

[–]I_Wont_Draw_That 3 points4 points ago

I haven't seen this before, so I don't care if it's a repost. And it's clearly a picture of a lion looking at a butterfly, so there's no lying going on. You're saying I still shouldn't upvote it because you don't like the person who posted it?

[–]drburropile 0 points1 point ago

It's ok "filthy whiner that actually cares about karma".

[–]Azhdarkho 2 points3 points ago

Yup, stop upvoting him.

[–]VerneAsimov -1 points0 points ago

OP.

[–]whomeverIwishtobe -5 points-4 points ago

seriously, fuck you. This is a waste of a comment, I give zero fucks how many times OP has reposted content, zero.

[–]granimal 3 points4 points ago

He looks a lot like Scar

[–]markpelly 8 points9 points ago

Is that because he's a lion?

[–]Toth201 -1 points0 points ago

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. It's the eyes.

[–]RaptainBalcony 2 points3 points ago

dat catnip

[–]bc2229 1 point2 points ago

I watched a few of the female lions at the national zoo go cub over the summer. I think I've got it in a series of bad(I was in the middle of setting my camera up)images, but I'm too lazy to look.

cats will be cats, no matter their size.

[–]Acoz0r -1 points0 points ago

Considering your history, is this a repost as well?

[–]veritas21 -1 points0 points ago

no he's thinking can i eat that?

[–]gregsmith93 -1 points0 points ago

How sad would it be if the lion had learning difficulties.

[–]HOWDITGETBURNEDHOWDI 0 points1 point ago

has anyone read "Ferdinand the Bull"? It's a children's book... here's the link http://silvertongue7.tripod.com/ferdinand.html without the illustrations :(

How come lions and cats do not have the same type of pupil?

[–]Nils3 2 points3 points ago

Totally looks like a poor photoshop of his eyes. Sorry for being such a buzzkill.

[–]wesfazzani 0 points1 point ago

This was my first thought too...they are just a little too orange

[–]snowlion18 0 points1 point ago

i think its bad photoshop too, and am disappoint that no one else here seems to notice

[–]Ogsharkman 0 points1 point ago

He's seen some shit...

[–]Belriel 0 points1 point ago

Maybe he's negotiating a truce with the great eagles.

[–]thelbane 0 points1 point ago

I always thought of lions and tigers as big kittens. You can bond with them from a young age and develop compassion for each other, but when a kitten decides to give you a swat because it's overstimulated or cranky, you get a scratch on the hand... Not disemboweled.

Those eyes !

[–]i_forget_my_userids 0 points1 point ago

[10] Lion.

[–]tittilating_tomatoes 0 points1 point ago

The part you don't see is him eating the butterfly and him later farting out a bubble with the butterfly in it. It was his master trick.

[–]hoggledoggle 1 point2 points ago

Anyone remember The Lion King game for Sega? When you didn't move Simba around for a while butterflies would fly around and he would pounce on them. This reminds me of that.

[–]homo_erector 1 point2 points ago

....and then he kills it.

[–]Fluix 0 points1 point ago

Stop generalizing everything. Just because someone/an animal stops to look at a butterfly doesn't mean that they're a kid. It's natural and no way related to being a kid. I don't get why people get a notion that as a adult they must stop this. Seriously relax, no one's going to care, and you'll get an awesome experience.

[–]MPsai 0 points1 point ago

Seconds later he smashes it with his paw.

[–]Said_No-one_Ever 0 points1 point ago

Silly, human things such as butterflies being appealing to kids don't apply on lions.

[–]brussels4breakfast 0 points1 point ago

[–]brainwall 0 points1 point ago

That is adorable. I want to brush his mane out though.

[–]mistermordancy 0 points1 point ago

This is like when you see a bodybuilder on the train watch monster's inc on his phone.

[–]funkmasterfelix 0 points1 point ago

uh...more like inner killing machine

[–]fourdac 0 points1 point ago

I think he's just staring at it. I stare at things too.

[–]tekhnomancer 0 points1 point ago

I love this pic. I love it so much.

[–]blazinazn007 0 points1 point ago

Man that is the LAST time I get catnip from that dude.

Someone please shoop in some googly eyes

[–]StendhalSyndrome 0 points1 point ago

Cats are cats, king of the jungle or not get that guy a 6foot pole with a huge feather on it and he would be flipping and rolling around like the little ones.

That lion has seen some shit.

[–]martian14671 0 points1 point ago

Then he eats the butter fly

[–]Dnar_Semaj 0 points1 point ago

Ehmahgerd. Burterfeys.

[–]pablothe 0 points1 point ago

More like 'killing instinct activated'.

[–]gotnull 0 points1 point ago

I cried.

[–]IFlippedYourTable 0 points1 point ago

Don't. Blink.

[–]SonOfTK421 -1 points0 points ago

He's paralyzed with indecision.

Does he swat, or does he bite?

[–]The_awful_falafel 0 points1 point ago

He is testing if he can murder things by staring at them hard enough.

[–]graydew 0 points1 point ago

"Fire mind lazers. Pew pew!"

[–]bikesair 0 points1 point ago

I'm a cat.

[–]Samuraikav 0 points1 point ago

He looks like he's trying to use his eye lazer instead.

[–]reverendfrag4 -1 points0 points ago

My cat loved to kill butterflies. He'd get into a rabble of those little yellow butterflies and just go nuts. He would not be content until every single one of them was dead.

I miss that cat.

EDIT: added link

[–]Northcliffe1 0 points1 point ago

Imma repost this in two months and title it 'This is what a Shitfaced Lion Looks Like'

[–]Bitrandombit 1 point2 points ago

I suggest: Did I leave the stove on this morning?

[–]jelde 1 point2 points ago

then he killed the butterfly and left it there, because lions are fucking assholes.

[–]anubis89 0 points1 point ago

Unreal creature right there.

[–]Sneakylass 0 points1 point ago

bitches love butterflies

[–]lughnasadh 0 points1 point ago

OK, here he is after he's killed the butterfly.

[–]aequitas_veritas 0 points1 point ago

Glad to see this not titled something along the lines of 'Bewildered king.'

[–]plo83 0 points1 point ago

To eat or not to eat. There lion's the question.

[–]Shamrockdave 0 points1 point ago

Which he then promptly ate.

[–]MandiP85 0 points1 point ago

I would love to be able to get up close to that beautiful beast.

[–]Baron_Von_D 1 point2 points ago

Hipster Lion instagramming it.

Saw a flying thing today, didn't kill it.

Still scary as fuck. Look at those eyes....looks like Scar incarnate.

Can't appreciate glory of nature; eyes too scary.

[–]SirPinz 0 points1 point ago

Those eyes.

[–]ontable 0 points1 point ago

I bet he ate it right after the picture was taken. My dog does that with bees.

Thats kind of a ratty, sketchy male lion. No majesty there.

[–]tLburns920 0 points1 point ago

He looks like he's trippin' ... "Why is the ground as low as I can go?"

Inner cub? Who's to say lions lose their appreciation of nature when they age? That's a human behavior. :)

[–]LuckoftheFryish -2 points-1 points ago

It's just a big fucking kitty boys.

[–]primokarim 0 points1 point ago

You don't have to lose your sense of wonder for the world just because you've grown older. It also helps if you have the mental capacity of a lion.

[–]mrmerrbs 0 points1 point ago

Can I eat it? I'm gonna eat it

[–]jonosvision -1 points0 points ago

The lion's eye is shopped. It also looks like he could be caught in a snare.

[–]donttryathomekids -2 points-1 points ago

you can tell OP swallows the most disgusting of untouchable cocks from the title alone.

let alone the fact that this reposting sack of shit won't fucking go away. oh well.
