@crownedeaglesafaris: Why do the lioness roll after mating? #safirinacrownedeaglesafaris #crowningyourholiday #lions #lioness #mating #safari #

HON JEREMIAH KITASHO :

After mating, lions, especially lionesses, often roll on the ground as a normal behavior. This is mainly caused by hormonal changes triggered during mating and may also help relieve temporary discomfort. Rolling is part of their natural post-mating routine and can also help spread their scent. Since lions mate repeatedly during the female's fertile period, this behavior is commonly seen after each mating.
