Tree-Top Rest — Young Lions in a Dead Acacia

Two young lions drape themselves lazily across the bare branches of a dead acacia tree under an overcast sky, one asleep and one gazing alertly into the distance. Tree-climbing lions, a behaviour most commonly documented in juveniles, is a rare and captivating sight in Tanzania's Lake Manyara region and one of the most talked-about wildlife sightings in East African safari circles.
