This young lady was in the middle of a nice power nap late one morning in the Masai Mara of Kenya. Lions usually sleep up to 20 hours a day, which makes sense when you think about it. They are fierce hunters and most hunts end in failure. They’re only successful about once a week and must exert a lot of energy to catch that one meal. Most of the rest of their time is spent recovering and resting up so that they can do it again.
She is so beautiful. Thanks for the education about lions too. So interesting. But I wonder why my dogs sleep so much. They don’t have to hunt, play with already dead stuffed toys and walk around the block sniffing others dog’s pee. How can that be so exhausting?
