This iconic moment captured by
@National_Geographic is every wildlife photographer's dream. 🦁 How relatable are these lounging lions? 😂
There are only a few places in Africa where lions often climb up into trees. The pride that lives around Lake Ndutu, is one of them. It’s a sight you’ll never forget, an entire pride of lions, from the smallest cub to the pride male himself, at times, lounging about in Acacia trees and completely at home all the way up there
It allows them to catch the cool breeze that blows just slightly off the ground and gives them the ability to scan around them for approaching prey like zebra and wildebeest. This particular pride spent the whole day in this tree and hardly paid any attention when this herd of elephants walked by. It sure would have been an interesting situation if the elephant herd came over to feed on this particular tree.
