Are they irritated by the tree?

And does that affect the lions?

And is there more than one lion in a tree?

You said, Alex, it's a cultural behavior.

Why as a scientist do you know it's something cultural rather than just something innate that this species does?

Is that, I mean, how are prides constituted?

Like when a cub is that young, is it living with all of the members of its pride or just its mum and siblings?

Explain that to me more.

When that lioness has moved away with her cubs from the rest of the pride, how is she feeding herself?

Does she have to go off and hunt or is she just subsisting on her existing fat stores?

she's obviously suckling so she still needs to to hunt and she needs to actually produce you know a lot more milk and energy for those cubs so yeah so she's still hunting yeah and when the lionesses start introducing their cubs into the trees and and tree climbing what have you observed how did they go about teaching baby lions to climb trees

What sounds do little cubs make?

When they're trying to get up that tree or maybe falling out.

This national park, the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda, how do you travel there as a scientist?

What's it like to get to this part of Uganda?

And once you're out there in the national park, where are you sleeping?

And what are the sounds like at night?

One lion that you encountered for the first time back in 2018 is a lion known as Jacob.

Why did he stand out to you the first time you met him, Alex?

Really?
