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 :)

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

They've got sense them lions. More uber-species, then sub-species, I reckon
