Author Notes
Thanks to FanArtist for hyena illustration.
Internet lion factoid:
It turns out that I am a lion, hear me roar! should probably be changed to I am a lion, hear me snore! The king of the jungle racks up enough sleep to make the average house cat look extremely active by comparison.
Male lions spend 18 to 20 hours a day snoozing, while females get 15 to 18 hours of shuteye. The lionesses spend more time hunting and taking care of cubs, which is why they get slightly less sleep. And following a large meal, lions may even sleep up to 24 hours - talk about a catnap!
