Lions Napping on a Tree!!!
This was sent to me by a friend!
The pictures were so "Incredible" ....I wanted to share with you guys!
Lions napping up a tree in Central Serengeti, Tanzania
At least 15 of the beasts were caught on camera lounging on the branches of a sturdy tree in Central Serengeti, TANZANIA.
While it might look as though they were using the vantage point to seek out prey, photographer Bobby-Jo Clow, from Dubbo, Australia, revealed the laid back pride were actually trying to escape flies living in the long grass.
Bobby-Jo, 32, said - I was leading a photographic safari in the Serengeti and on our first official day in the park we came across this incredible sighting.
Our guide spotted the pride of Lions in the trees, and luckily we were able to get close enough to the lions to create some really unique images. We were close enough that we could hear their vocal interaction and also hear some of them snoring in the tree.
It was also very comical at times as the lions appeared rather clumsy whilst moving and repositioning themselves in the tree. One lioness had an incredibly rotund belly and she was letting it all hang out whilst perched on the tree.

Re: Lions Napping on a Tree!!!
15 lions on one tree! Looks like a hostel dorm or dharamshala! Must have fed recently! This is competition for Jim Corbett's old hotel in Kenya called Tree Tops ......... Tree Tops Serengeti, only lions allowed.
Lions do climb trees. Clumsily, falling off more often than not, and absolutely not with the sure assurance of a leopard, but they do.
