Head rubbing – the nuzzling of the forehead, face and neck against another lion – appears to be a form of greeting and is seen often after an animal has been apart from others or after a fight or confrontation.
Hovedgnidning — at gnubbe sin pande, ansigt og nakke mod en anden løve — lader til at være en form for hilsen, da det ofte ses efter et dyr har været væk fra de andre, eller efter en kamp eller konfrontation.
