Right and they only went there when their normal prey (ungulates) became scarce so facing starvation they opted to hunt for shore animals like seals and birds that frequent the seashore.
- armadsen 4y agoThat's a bit of a simplification of what the article reports, which is that desert lions were there before being driven out by nearby farmers in 2002. They came back because of the drought and lack of non-marine prey. Seems likely that there have been lions there for a very long time, which sort of by definition means that they're adapted for living there, even if that adaptation was spurred by difficulty in getting "normal" prey.
