Do lions bite when people hide in water?

People hide in the water, but lions don't bite.

On the other hand, lions are usually afraid of water. Needless to say, a swift river and sometimes a small puddle can often make their demeanor as the king of grassland disappear without a trace.

Grant Atkinson, a 52-year-old wildlife photographer, recently photographed a group of lions crossing a puddle in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The lion's strong body, strong mane, hard and meticulous movements and a face of fear form a strong contrast, which makes people laugh.

This male lion weighs about 500 Jin, with strong muscles and strong limbs. A vigorous mane shows its good physical quality. On this day, it wanted to move to a place, but it was blocked by a stream. This stream is almost dry, and the deepest part seems to be only 5 cm deep, so it is very easy to pass. However, the lion is in trouble.

First of all, after careful comparison, the male lion chose a narrow position on the water, put his limbs together on the mud, try not to let his paws touch the water, then stare at each other, make full psychological preparation and accumulate strength. Then the lion took a big leap and jumped to the other side. After landing, the lion hurried away.

The moment the lion jumped to the ground, its facial expression was clearly photographed by the photographer. We can easily see the lion's psychological state when crossing the stream-fear, very fear. So, why are lions so afraid of water?

In fact, it is a common phenomenon that African lions are afraid of water. Zoologists have studied this problem for a long time. Zoologists believe that lions are afraid of water because they are afraid that crocodiles that may exist in the water will attack them.
