"UGANDA'S LAST EDEN"
Tree-climbing is an unusual behavior for lions, but the pride in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda is famous for napping in trees during the day -- this male is just waking up at dusk. Though they don't know it, the lions here may be the last of their kind; relentless poisoning by cattlemen leads many researchers to believe the big predators of this area will all be gone within the next five to ten years. |
