Pride of lions recreate Queen’s iconic Bohemian Rhapsody album cover

Daniel Rosengren took the once in a lifetime shot while in the Serengeti

MAMA, just killed a man! A pride of lions create their own Boh-mane-ian Rhapsody by emulating Queen’s famous album cover.

Swedish photographer Daniel Rosengren, 40, captured the shot by sneaking up on a small pride called Mukoma Mischiefs in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

Daniel, from Sweden, said: "This is a very small pride called Mukoma Mischiefs with only one adult female and her four young cubs - one is out of frame.

"To get the lion's heads with only the sky as background, I slowly sneaked out of my car and hunkered down low.

"Seeing me out of the car intrigued all the lions very much, hence the intense look in their eyes.

"I took a whole series of photos and, like in the lion circle photo, only one had this perfect symmetry.

"I couldn't believe the perfect overlap of the ears and I thought about the cover of the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen.

"It looks like the lions are piled up, lying on top of each other but the truth is, the centre lion at the bottom is actually completely in front of the rest -look closely and you can see her shoulder and butt to the right of her."
