Belly Up!

When a pride of lions polishes off a big meal, its members typically wander off into the bush for a nice, quiet nap of digestion, to “hide and sleep it off.” Not all that dissimilar to what plays out after we humans push back from the table on holidays. In this scene, however, the lions essentially fell out of their chairs and fell asleep in the middle of the room, having. eaten themselves into a stupor.
