Did you know lions can spend about 18-20 hours a day sleeping and resting? Males are at the far end of the spectrum, easily snoozing for 20 hours in a 24 hour period. Females, spending more time hunting and caring for cubs, usually sleep a few hours less. Regardless, lions will make even the laziest of house cats look down-right over-active! After a large meal, lions can even sleep a full 24 hours. Now those are some serious cat-naps! Photo of Layla by Sandy Mendel
