The Weird Reasons Africa’s Lions Are Climbing Trees 🌴🐆 | Big Cats Unleashed



Leopards spend a lot of time up trees, with some of them even hunting from above. What’s less common is seeing lions and cheetahs up in the branches. But in the Okavango Delta, all three of these big cats are taking advantage of an aerial position. Experts explain what makes these big cats climb trees.

Big Cats Unleashed is a new exclusive series of short films exploring the Big Cats of Botswana. Featuring unseen moments and shots from Big Cats 24/7, Big Cats Unleashed builds upon the characters we’ve met, taking a deeper look into their lives.

From Africa Geographic's Editor – Taryn van Jaarsveld

Move over, hip flasks and CamelBaks. Did you know that elephants have the best built-in hydration system? The pharyngeal pouch, found just behind an elephant’s tongue, is a hidden reservoir that can store up to four litres of water. Elephants can use this to quench their own thirst or offer a life-saving sip to a calf, allowing them to stay hydrated when surface water is scarce. And the pouch isn’t just for drinking – it doubles as a cooling system and even helps amplify the elephants’ low-frequency rumbles. Desert-adapted elephants (always prepared for the worst) have even bigger pouches, making them the champions of drought survival. In Africa, it pays to be resourceful!
