LIONS DO CLIMB
REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM KENYA
OLD DEBATE SETTLED (United Service) Heed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. Do lions climb trees? Is a long debate. The question has definitely been settled by the publication in 'The Times” of a remarkable series oi big game close-ups taken in the wilds of Kenya and Tanganyika by Colonel M. Maxwell. One lion ’is seen resting in the branches of a tree. Another is actually walking along a bough. The pictures show that the lious do not leap up to the branches, but work their way up the boughs. The London Zoo is shortly to experiment to find out whether tigers are also tree-climbers. High branches are being placed in an outdoor cage, with a platform on which meat will be placed.
