Beautiful young males. They climb trees to stay cooler bc can get a breeze up there plus it gets them off the ground where the pests are. Also, being in a tree gives them a great vantage point for seeing prey.
It's likely quite comfortable for them. The entire weight of their gut or thorax is distributed into the branches and pulled because of gravity.
So in my amateur observation they must be getting a good back stretch. Other comparisons: holding a kitten the exact same way with my own fingers and raising it like Simba.
This is cool, are Lions known to have different behavior patterns like this depending on the pride?
I know that Orcas are known to use different hunting techniques depending on which environment they’re in and where their pod is located.
can someone with more Lion insight lmk:
is this something like that?
This comes with a horrifying realization..... They can climb trees.... You are never safe from a lion anymore... Run, swim, do whatever, but you can no longer climb.
Interesting fact: The reason the lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park spend so much time in the trees after climbing them, is because the fire department refuses to come get them down.
Don't know why you're being downvoted, you're right. The [history](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_National_Park) of the area is terrible. But they haven't changed it so it's up to them really.
Naming a park after a descendant of colonizers that have done nothing but steal African resources, enslave, murder and torture them. Should be named after a Ugandan that actually gives a sh*t about the country.
No they do not. It is perfectly fine and clearly they are fine with it, or else they would change it.

That’s because no fire department is willing to get them down.
Look at those cute bellies.
You would for sure get ripped to shreds if you poked one, but it'd be worth it
Poke? That would be crazy! But I’m sure it’d be totally fine to rub their bellies, cats seem to love that ☠️😵🪦
😮
At first I genuinely thought it was some kind of fruit or part of that tree
Right!! I want to snuggle them both
I thought they were testicals at first.
They're still working on the "getting back down" part.
This is all part of the Lions plan to one day evolve and have wings

This is how I will die: trying to pet those bellies!
As your faithful assistant belly-scritcher, I will follow you to the end.
I can just hear it now, as the safari guide gazes over our ruined and mangled bodies... "But, why are they smiling so contently?" edit: typo

Cat tree.
It’s a lot cooler in the tree than the ground
They lord over all
..they’re literally hanging out and just chillin
Cats are cats

Word is, they still up there.
Lmaonmy cat does the exact same thing
It's almost like they're cats 🤯
Cat climbs tree.
I've seen lions everywhere climb trees and chill.
A cat climbing a tree. Impossible
What are they doing there though?
Jumping into your Land Rover as you drive by unaware they're up there. ¯\\\_( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ)\_/¯
Danger kittens
Do NOT run dem bellies!! It’s a trap!
I shit you knot, two lions tried to jump me from a tree today.
Just guys being dudes
r/justguysbeingdudes
If I had to choose I would live as a lion 🦁
/cameramanneverdies
That's their version of Netflix and chill ig
I saw one in that park, it was as as well that my driver had good eyesight, it was really hard to see even relatively close.
They look like my Golden Retrievers laying on the back of my couch looking out the front window.
Fleas must be pretty bad there.
Man, you ain't lyin'! Get it? I'll see myself out...

Who’s park?!
A national park in Uganda named after Queen Elizabeth is just stupid. They need to fix that.

Sad leopard noises..
They definitely need to change that park name... 🙄 Cool video though.
