How to fall from a tree with dignity

Or, when the lioness is calling the big mighty lion king to climb down and continue their stroll around the jungle. 

Actually, according to animal behaviorists, lions are proficient tree climbers. They scale these tall trees to (1) escape the sweltering heat of the ground or (2) to have a panoramic view and an excellent vantage point of the plains where they can get a look of where the water source may be and to observe the movement of preys.

The leopards actually scale trees more gracefully but that don't stop lions from trying and eventually perfecting their skill of doing it. Many seasoned animal behaviorists believe that lions are not evolutionarily adapted to scale trees but over time these lions have mastered this skill, a good example of learned behavior as opposed to natural instinct.

Of course it is such a rare talent for lions that only two populations of lion around the planet exhibit this kind of skill, mostly they are found in East Africa.
