A research team has documented a pair of lion brothers crossing an African river filled with predators at night in a record-breaking 1.5-kilometer swim.<\/p>\n
The team, led by Dr. Alexander Braczkowski from the Griffith University Centre for Planetary Health and Food Security, filmed the two lions \u2014 Jacob and Tibu \u2014 on their night swim across Uganda\u2019s Kazinga Channel using drones equipped with high-definition heat detection cameras, a press release from Griffith University said. The Uganda Wildlife Authority supervised the team\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
\u201cJacob has had the most incredible journey and really is a cat with nine lives,\u201d Braczkowski said in the press release.<\/p>\n
