      Thanks very much, Jane! Truth be told, I just didn’t post any of the multitude of blurry or poorly composed shots, or those that had pieces of the car in them…

    I love one resting his head on the back of the other. Could these have been brothers?

       They certainly had a very close bond Lois, and probably are brothers, or half-brothers, as females in the same pride often synchronize their litters.
