Scientists in Uganda have revealed a new study report on the tree-climbing lions living in the Uganda. As per their study, the number of prey for the lions are decreasing in day by day and these lions need to roam more distant for finding a prey for their survival. The home ranges of these lions have increased over time due to the search of prey.

According to Science Daily, these scientists were already studying the behavior of the tree climbing lions of Uganda. They recently compared the data of the home ranges of these lions in Uganda with the data which was measured in the year 1970. The difference in the data revealed the increase in home range size of these lions over time. These tree-climbing lions are found in the Ishasha district of Uganda.

The research paper of the tree climbing lions has been published in the journal of East African Natural History. The study includes a few of Kingdom's delineations of lions and their prey. The study published in the journal has been titled as "Home ranges of Ishasha lions: size and location in relation to habitat and prey availability".

Live Sciences reported that there are only two groups of a lion in the world that climb trees daily and are known as tree climbing lions. The research study has been done on the group of lions which live in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. The other group of tree climbing lions lives in Tanzania.

The littler scopes of the tree-climbing lions, alongside their inclination for grassland and wooded grassland habitat, are identified with their reliance on their primary prey species, the Ugandan kob. The tree climbing lions may climb to stay away from the warmth at ground level or to escape from gnawing flies. Their unordinary conduct makes them a noteworthy tourist draw for Uganda.
