One of the lion beasts, in our impression, is very powerful, even sleeping will carefully stare at the vicinity. However, sometimes we think too much. In a zoo in Uganda, because the weather was too hot, all the lions climbed to the trees to cool off and hung on them when they slept. Seeing them sleeping on all fours hanging from the tree, I felt that I had lost the momentum of the king of the forest in an instant.
Cheetahs climb trees a lot, sometimes they find it fun, and they even encourage their babies to do so. But lions climb trees much less often, because lions are larger and heavier, and their movements are relatively clumsy. But in fact, as long as there is a need, they can also climb the tree like a cheetah and enjoy the unique coolness of the tree.

These days, the weather is hot, and the animals in Uganda's zoos can't stand the heat, and each finds a way to escape the heat. A photographer was in a Uganda safari park and photographed the unique side of the lion. To escape the heat, the lions climbed to a nearby tree. Unlike other zoo lions, who choose to hide in caves or run under trees to cool off, they climb higher.
Because there is not only a shaded place in the tree, but also to avoid the interference of flies, there is a cool breeze at the height, it is a good place to take a nap in the summer. These lions managed to climb the tree in three or two clicks, and each lion would find a place for himself, one would occupy a position, and then he would start hanging on the tree and sleeping. A male lion actually used two tree trunks to support his head and tail, and his head rested on his paws, and his limbs hung down to sleep soundly. However, the big belly hangs down between the trunks, which is a bit like a lazy uncle.
Some lions lie on the trunk and sleep with the trunk in their arms. Some lions take advantage of the crisscrossing trunk slots, and although this sleeping position looks a little uncomfortable, like hanging on it, the lion also sleeps happily. Lions, who have not yet slept, lie on it and look in all directions, watching the movement nearby, and when the photographer photographs them, they also stare at the photographer.
These lions only pay no attention to the image in the tree, showing a strange sleeping position, feeling that they have seen a completely different lion than usually imagined, they are more like cute big cats. But sleeping with a tree trunk like this, does it really not fall? Some cat owners say they won't, because their cats often sleep like this. What do you think?
