These surprising photos show masses of butterflies interacting with various animals. But why do they do it, especially with such risk to themselves? One answer is that butterflies typically swarm during migration, and these pictures capture such a moment. The other answer is that butterflies can't get all the minerals they need from flowers, making them attracted to things that are salty.

I was photographing this adult male white lion on a private estate in South Africa near the Shambala Game Reserve. Being totally engaged capturing a portrait of this beautiful creature, I was unaware of the lioness until she suddenly nudged her way into the shot, as if wanting to share this "photo op." The result: A definite "selfie pose" by this rare pair of white lions. Minor clean-up in Photoshop Nikon D500. Nikkor 80-400mm lens @ 150mm. 1/400 sec @ f8. ISO 1000.
