How fast can a lion swim?

Answer 1

I think so, in The Lion King simba does a bit of swimming and they do try to make the film as realistic as possible so lions probably can go underwater but not for long, as their manes get water logged. Yes, but for a short period of time, and lets keep in mind that simba was a fictional character I know but i said they made as real as possible and simba did only stay underwater for a short time

Answer 2

Yes, lions CAN swim in the sea but rarely do so. Lions along the coast of the Namib Desert do feed on seals and will, on occasion, enter the water to make a kill. Unlike tigers and jaguars, lions swim only when necessary and not for "fun."

Answer 3

Lions are also excellent swimmers and can swimacross rivers up to three miles wide

Answer 4

While some are excellent swimmers, most lions live in the African desert. Therefore they don't see much water.

Answer 5

Yes, lions are able to swim. However, they only swim when it is necessary (for example, to cross a river during rainy seasons).
probably =)

Answer 6

A trained lion can.

All grown lions CAN swim. They just don't like to.

Answer 7

Well, i just watched African cats and it looked like they can swim so my answer is YES

Answer 8

No because they don't know how to swim and they are very heavy so there is a huge chance that they will drown unlike dogs cause they are like kinda like lions but they are very lighter

Answer 9

Lions can swim quite well but, unlike the tiger or jaguar, only enter the water out of necessity, not for enjoyment.
