Lions and Their Prey
Lions mainly prey on large animals. Most of the time you will find that lions will eat animals such as zebras and wildebeest. Many of the animals that lions hunt are larger and faster than them, and this is why they have to use a special way to catch their prey. It can be difficult for lions to catch their food, and they can go up to a few days without eating. This is why a lot of the time you will find that lions are sleeping. They have to conserve their energy until they are able to catch prey to eat again.

Reasons Lions will Climb Trees
You may not know this, but lions are able to climb trees. There are numerous reasons why you may find lions in trees. For example, female lions are needed to nurse their cubs, but as any mother could tell you, sometimes you just need a break. In order for the female lion to get a break from her cubs, she will climb a tree. This works well for female lions because in most cases, their cubs are too young to be able to climb the trees with her. However, you should note that from the height of a tree, the mother lion is still able to keep a close eye on her babies.
Lions have a lot of Patience

Lion Picture |
Lions are incredibly patient species. This can be seen when you notice how they hunt for their prey. In most cases, lions will not go out of their way to hunt for food. Instead, they will lie and wait for another animal to wander into their territory. Lions tend to sleep a large amount of the time because they spend so much time waiting for prey to come to them. They are known to sleep more than any other animal in Africa. Since they wait for their prey to come to them, lions may have to go a few days without eating, so sleeping is a good way for them to save their energy.
