AWESOME ANIMALS
TREE CLIMBING LIONS

Facts about tree climbing lions and why they climb.

Did you know ?

1 The lion is probably the most feared and respected of all African wild animals. This is because it is a super predator that is capable of hunting most of the Savannah wildlife for food.

2. Tree climbing lions are among the least understood of the big cats. They are like all the other lions in every respect, except for tree climbing. In the whole world, there are two 'populations' of tree climbing lions - only found in East Africa.

3. The two assumed reasons to explain why these lions have adapted to climbing trees are:
a). To avoid irritations by insects and bugs on the ground.
b). To escape the Savannah heat by basking on the branches where they can get some fresh breeze.

4. These tree climbing lions stay on the ground during the night and when it rains and both situations eliminate insects, bugs, and reduce heat. Basking in the trees helps them as well to keep watch over their grazing prey such as antelopes, buffaloes among others.

5. Their tree-climbing skills are regarded as a behavioural adaptation that they have mastered so well and are able to teach even their young cubs. This is why they do it with practice.

5. Tree climbing lions can be found in the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park of Uganda and in Lake Manyara National Park of Tanzania both in East Africa.

6. Consequently, they are commonly referred to as the tree-climbing lions of East Africa. Lions in other parts of Africa such as Kluger National Park in South Africa, some parts of Kenya and in Kidepo Valley National Park have been occasionally, though very rarely seen climbing trees.

Back in the 16th century, the Omukama Olimi 1 of Bunyoro orchestrated a serries o cattle raids depopulating Buganda and Ankole, leading to a devastating famine. One day the sky fell dark during day light hours, prompting the Omukama to flee back to Bunyoro, leaving behind a large number of stollen cattle from which the Ankole people started breeding new new herds. It turns out the darkness turned out to be the solar eclipse of AD 1520. This striking hiltop monument, comprising a golden orb surppoted by three pillars representing the Kings Bunyoro, Ankole and Buganda commemorates this Mark in History.
