Our animal of the day: THE TREE CLIMBING LIONS
It is somewhat uncommon for lions to actually climb trees. There are
no more than 2 populations in whole world of such lions that do actually
climb trees as one of their day after day behavior. One of these
populations is found within the Ishasha sector which is found in the
south part of the well known Queen Elizabeth National
Park within Uganda. The other population is found in Lake
Manyara National Park in the Southern part of Tanzania.
It is supposed that this type of lions climb trees as a way of protecting themselves against the numerous biting tsetse flies on the ground level, whereas other people claim the they actually climb into the branches to escape from the heat on the ground and enjoy the cool breeze; nonetheless the reason why they climb up into the tree branches remains unknown.

Let's pray and hope for peace in Southern Sudan, soon.
On July 9, 2011, the Republic of South Sudan became the 193rd member
nation at the UN. South Sudan’s complex history, diverse culture,
natural landscape and developments needs can be understood in part by
reading, analyzing, comparing and combining maps. Maps help understand
the physical landscape, cultural diversity, environmental challenges and
resource use, language distribution, among many other things. Maps
offer a visualization tool to rapidly understand the complexity of a
place like South Sudan that has been ravaged by war and has emerged as
an independent country with trememdous challenges ahead.
