Best Answer

Because when they eat they gain 60 pounds. The skin on their stomach stretches after eating. They usually walk for two hours a day and lose the excess weight. The excess skin hangs until its refilled with food again giving it a bloated look.

It also allows them to be kicked with little chance of injury when fighting with other lions or prey.

How are lions adapted to the African Savannah?

Lions have four major adaptions, all of which are necessary for survival and general well being. 1. The lion's infamous roar is used to communicate with other lions, particularly group members, and warn any intruders of territorial boundaries. 2. Their claws help them grab prey to eat. 3. Lions have rough tongues which helps them peel skin away from flesh and flesh away from bone. 4. Loose belly skin allows lions to be kicked by prey with lesser chance of injury.
