Lionesses are the primary hunters within the pride. Contrary to some common misconceptions, lion prides operate within a matriarchal social structure, where females hold the key roles in decision-making and coordination. Lions in Uganda and Tanzania spend a large portion of their lives lying on branches high above the ground to get a better vantage point, surveying the land for prey. The branches also offer a safe haven from stampedes, and an escape from the heat. Tree-climbing is a part of lion culture passed down from generation to generation. The population of African lions is plummeting at an unprecedented rate due to habitat loss, prey decline, climate change and wildlife trade. At the current rate, African lions could be completely extinct by the year 2050. 2023 Media:Acrylic painting on stretched canvasFramed Dimensions:18" x 24"Depth: 1.5" Finished sides & edgesThis painting wraps around all sides of the canvas.
