A
lioness in Ishasha Southern sector of
Queen Elizabeth National Park,
Uganda. Ishasha lions are famed for tree climbing, a trait only shared with lions in the
Lake Manyara region. They often spend the hottest parts of the day in the large
fig trees found throughout the area. It is still unclear why so few lions exhibit this behavior.Photo credit:
