How to be a Retronaut has posted a wonderful series of photographs taken by Michael Rougier for LIFE magazine sometimes in the 1970s. They depict the everyday life of a family and what appears to be their awesome pet lion. Our efforts to find the original LIFE article have failed thus far, but we would love to know what brought lion and family together in the first place and, you know, whether he ever decided to make a snack of one of them.

Be sure to check out How to be a Retronaut to see the entire series.

Edit: aarecords, one of our awesome readers, just shed some light on this series of photos: 

“That’s Tippi Hedren, star of “The Birds”, and her daughter Melanie Griffith. She adopted lions and other big animals that had been used in films. I believe she still has an animal sanctuary in southern Cali.”

Thanks you aarecords! We very much appreciate the information and are delighted that you enjoy the Geyser of Awesome. :)
