Lion Climbs Down Tree Like ‘Small Tentative Kitten’.

Filmed in Serengeti on the border of Tanzania and Kenya, the lion had intended to rest in the tree but the weather changed his plans.

“A storm was rapidly approaching, and this lion knew he needed to climb down and get to safety, but he wasn’t happy about it,” says the videographer. “Watching him climb down was like watching a small tentative kitten, a funny sight given his majestic mane and stature.” And they are right. The lion manoeuvres himself into a strange position at the top of the tree – at one point he is horizontal – and then  lowers himself down inch by inch.

The videographer commented about their video, “This safari wildlife video shows a humorous side to the ‘King of the Jungle.’”
