their top speed is around 35 miles an hour. They hunt at night and rest at day that is because they have better eye sight so they see better at night.

Maximum speed of LionsLions have been reported to reach up to 35 mph, but they can only maintain this speed over short distances. Some have been clocked as high as 50 mph. 50 mph Lions maximum speed is 50 mph,but they can only run from short distances about (160) yards. on average? like 40mph.. but they really lack in stamina so they can only keep up that sort of speed for a very short while 45 mph over about 2 minuets to track and chase the pray normaly zebra or antilope/gezzel. As I have read most often, it is 60 km/h. Sometimes you can find 80 km/h, but more probable (judging from the frekvency on the web and resources of the web pages) it is 60 km/h Lions are not the fastest runners but can reach speeds of around 40 to 50 kmph. They cannot sustain the speeds for long. They usually run in short bursts of around 200 meters or so. They sneak up to around 100 meters or so to near the prey and then sprint and take down their prey. For short distances, a lion can run up to 81 km/h (or 50 mph).

The highest recorded speed for an African lion is 36mph. The only member of the cat family capable of speeds in excess of 50mph is the Cheetah which has a recorded top speed of just over 70mph.

Lions can reach a top speed of 50 miles per hour but cannot sustain it for long. They only run at this speed when hunting or to escape predators.
