Unique to this part of Western Uganda, this subspecies of lion likes to laze about in trees between lunch and tea

Sounds like a good lifestyle.

In the Tsavo region they swim. In Uganda they climb trees. What next?

This is pretty cool, I haven't heard of tree lions before. Thought leopards had a monopoly on tree climbing over there. Ty for the pics :)

Beautiful pictures. I've only ever seen them hiding in the bushes! But this is amazing!

What a wonderful picture! I've never seen lions in a tree before...and that tree must be enormous! Thanks. :o)

they look just like my cats. From afar at least.

I hope you are taking these picture with a zoom, or that is a little to close in the wild for my liking ---- but amazing

I would like to jump and grab that tail (maybe not)

You definitely caught them at thier very laziest. Which is probably for the best. : ]

But, do they need to phone the fire brigade to get back down again? :P

It looks rather confortable on that tree. Maybe I should try that myself.;)

They've got sense them lions. More uber-species, then sub-species, I reckon
woodenelf on October 24, 2008
Lions in trees??? Never heard of it before. :D
racco on October 24, 2008
I'm sure one of them could easily leap and get you from there. scary thought!

I'm very jealous of you in Africa while I deal with the cold in England.

Sounds like a nicer way to live than working in an office! Although wouldn't suit my vertigo!
