Caption in The Mercury, a Durban-based newspaper on 18 August 2011:
“Adam Thomson of the New Zealand All Blacks strokes a rather affectionate lion at the Seaview Lion Park in Port Elizabeth yesterday (17 August 2011).”
For all the Seaview Lion Park fans, it’s Tom pictured here with Adam!
Below, The Witness (Pietermaritzburg-based newspaper) ran a similar photo.
