Why Do Lions Rest So Much?
Lions are large wild cats that live in grasslands and savannas.
They spend a significant part of their day resting, especially during hot weather. Resting helps lions conserve energy.
Trees and other shaded places can provide shelter from the strong sun.
The sleeping lion in this coloring picture is enjoying a peaceful rest beneath a large savanna tree.
