Uganda’s rare tree-climbing lions, BBC World

Written By Vishva Samani
If you were to find yourself being chased by a lion you might try and climb a tree to escape - but that wouldn’t help in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. Lions have been spotted sleeping in trees as they digest their lunch and escape the hottest part of the day. I went on safari with an expert in tree climbing lions to try and spot this rare behaviour, here’s my report for BBC World News.
