“Help prevent lion-human conflict. By knowing where the lions, are our team are able to warn the herders not to take their livestock where the lions are, therefore preventing lions from killing livestock. If lions kill livestock, livestock owners/herders become very angry and would want to kill lions in retaliation.” - Ewaso Lions

“We track lions by putting GPS-enabled collars on them. The collars send via satellite hourly GPS points in real time.” - Ewaso Lions

“Tracking does not harm the lions at all. The collars have been custom designed and are very comfortable to the lions. The lions are still able to carry on with their activities even with the collars on” - Ewaso Lions

After the tiger, lions are the largest big cat species! Males can weigh up to 550 lb (250 kg), and females up to 400 lb (180 kg).

An adult male lion can sprint in short bursts at speeds up to 50 mph (80 kph)! Like most cats, however, they spend most of their time resting at 0 mph.

Lions are carnivores, and it’s the females who do the hunting—mainly for large mammals like zebras, wildebeest, and antelope. At times, lions may also steal food from hyenas and other predators in the savanna, or settle for smaller prey such as birds, mice, and lizards when larger animals are scarce.

Wipe with damp sponge or cloth, using warm water and mild soap. Once dry, brush to restore the plush and proceed with snuggling.
