Where are Lions kept In Uganda?
In Uganda lions are mainly found in the three largest savannah parks: Murchison Falls National Park (MFNP), Kidepo Valley National Park (KVNP), and Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP).
Why do Ugandan lions climb trees?
The lions climb the trees because the view is good for spotting the various prey that can be seen loitering around the Park.
These big cats can easily pounce on their food especially the antelopes without easily being noticed. They climb trees to escape the heat from the ground and get shelter from the rain.
