Two male African lion brothers – Jacob and Tibu completed a record-breaking swim across the predatory-infested Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.
Uganda Wildlife Authority supervised the filming, which employed high-definition heat detection cameras on drones. “I’d bet all my belongings that we are looking at Africa’s most resilient lion: he has been gored by a buffalo, his family was poisoned for lion body part trade, he was caught in a poacher’s snare, and finally lost his leg in another attempted poaching incident where he was caught in a steel trap,” he added.
“His swim, across a channel filled with high densities of hippos and crocodiles, is a record-breaker and is a truly amazing show of resilience in the face of such risk.” were being observed particularly, he said that the team has been running a long-term lion population dynamics study in the park since 2017. The observations showed that the lions are taking increased risks to find females in a system that has suffered from high levels of human-wildlife conflict but a low number of females.
