Amazing! Lions on a Tree

You might think this is a doctored image. Well, it’s not!

In this case, 15 grown lions ran for safety 15 feet up a tree in an attempt to escape the worst summer predator – the fly. While laying on the ground, the swarm of flies bothered the lions so much that they were forced to climb up this tree in central Serengeti, Tanzania.

These unbelievable photos were taken by Australian photographer Bobby-Jo Clow after his groups guide spotted the lion in the trees. He said, It was an incredible sight and was very comical at times as the lions appeared rather clumsy while moving and repositioning themselves. Our guide told us that due to the recent rains, the grass was quite long and that lions climb trees to escape the insects that thrive there.

These really are the kings of the jungle, whether they are afraid of flies or not.
