Beauty: A double rainbow stretches over a lion resting in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ndutu, Tanzania Photographer Thomas Retterath, who had been on a photo-safari, decided to name the lion the Rainbow Warrior The beast: A male lion walks through the savannah as a rainbow stretches through the sky He said: 'It had been raining and our guide heard some lions roar. We went in that direction and found a pride of lions feeding on a buffalo in the tall grass. This huge male lion was lying well-fed a bit separated in the open and I thought it would be nice to take some shots of him. Then I suddenly realised this rainbow and took advantage of it. It was amazing to see this double spectacle. When the lion got up I directed our guide so that I could snap this lion walking under the rainbow.
