Two lions were photographed sneaking off into the bushes of Maasai Mara National Park for some privacy before engaging in love making affairs, reports the Daily Mail.
Paul Goldstein, a British national, said he first observed then standing side-by-side before one lay down and was gently mounted by the other.
"After a while, they stood together , in a perfect symmetry. What then happened was remarkable," noted the Exodus Travels guide.
He added: "Even as he dismounted, he did not back off as is normal after mating. . He crept around to the other males's nuzzle and threw a conspiratorial wink his way."
While lions engaging in sexual activity is a rare occurrence, reports the paper, it is however fair from unknown.
But the bizarre incident has not gone down well with Kenya Film and Classification Board chairman Ezekiel Mutua who now wants the two isolated for research.
"The two lions should be isolated for study and counselling. Probably, they might have been influenced by the gay community who tours parks.
