Unlike leopards, who are very good tree climbers, lion were thought to be too heavy to climb further than they can stretch up the tree trunk. Then, tree climbing lions were discovered in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.

No they cannot. They are to heavy and have no tails. However, they may be able to push a tree over and sit on it.

(Except, they DO have tails. you fool.)

Also, goats climb trees and have stumpy tails.

They are commonly known to push them over or pull them out of the ground to get the top "new" leaves. And occasionally will eat tree bark by chewing the branch or trunk then ripping the bark of with their trunk.

No, of course not. They weigh thousands of pounds. They would break any tree on the planet. And on top of that, they have completely flat, digitless feet and could never grab onto a branch.
