Males and Females sleep up to 18-20 hours a day in most cases. Depending on how hot or if the weather is perfect than the lion will sleep. If the weather is good ther will sleep about 14-18 hours and go hunting or playing.
This is not a âjungleâ either: it is dry scrubland and open deciduous forest. Not only do lions not live in the jungle, âtonightâ is the least likely time for them to be sleeping. Outside the mating season, they spend 20 hours a day lying down and snoozing, two hours walking and just under an hour eating. However, what hunting they do generally takes place at night. Lions can run at 50mph for short distances. During the mating season, lionesses have sex up to 50 times a day for four days and nights in a row with as many as five males â but each bout lasts only ten seconds. Up to 8% of lion mountings are thought to be homosexual.
