He's Just A Big Kitten...
Well, 100 times heavier than the average house cat, but they look so innocent when they are sleeping...
Sweet dreams, Mr Enormous Kitty!
All four of Melb Zoo's magnificent lions are brothers, and usually are very affectionate towards each other. They spend much time together rubbing and nestling together.
As brothers do, of course, they also have their moments of fighting! Especially over food.
Once they have eaten their fill, then they are as gentle as a kitten!
Inevitably the after dinner activity is a sleep. In fact, lions, even in the wild, spend an average of 20 hours per day sleeping.
Better to be an apex predator than the prey animal that must spend its days browsing on vegetation!
