However, they have one similar thing &#8211; they all sleep 20 hours per day. Yet, if koalas don&#8217;t have a choice, lions just very lazy.<\/p>\n<p>Lion&#8217;s daily schedule doesn&#8217;t too rich. Besides long dream, one hour for wake up (to stretch, to scratch, to pee), a couple of hours for hunting, and one hour for a meal. And back to sleep again. It is on average, of course. Sometimes some non-planned activities happen &#8211; fight with neighbours lion or play with kiddo. At the same time, if the hunting was successful, a meal can be consumed for several days ahead (a lion need 5-7 kg of meat per day, but can consume about 30 kg in time) and nothing will interrupt a good sleep for days.<\/p>\n<p>We met the company of the lion and two lionesses in the Crater Ngorongoro. They had a good hung a couple of days ago, and now were full-bellied, happy and lazy.<\/p>\n<p>We had a big chance to see nothing except unmoved bodies, but one lioness was in heat. She thought for a long time that she wants more, dream or sex, and sex finally won.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The lioness waked up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0380_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"622\"><\/p>\n<p>Yawned for a while.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0384_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"><\/p>\n<p>Stood up veeeery slowly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0387_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"713\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0388_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"684\"><\/p>\n<p>And started to seek out for the attention of her husband, who dreamed sweetly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0394_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"776\"><\/p>\n<p>She tried everything.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0395_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"620\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0397_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"629\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0398_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/canadaru.net\/bufo_storage\/Blog_photo\/2018\/Travel\/Tansania\/Ngorongoro\/Lion\/DSC_0399_lion.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" width=\"1000\" height=\"611\"><\/p>\n<p>The lion didn&#8217;t react.
