Hello Nora.

Hope the information below will be usefull.

Climate change impacts lions’ physiology by causing extreme heat stress, which can lead to dehydration, impaired metabolism, and overall health issues. Reproductive physiology is affected as heat stress may reduce fertility and impact pregnancy and cub survival. Lions' immune systems can weaken due to increased disease risk, while behavioral changes, such as becoming more nocturnal to avoid heat, can affect their energy and nutrition. Additionally, reduced prey availability due to climate change can lead to malnutrition and poor body condition.

And in the side of young male and female, young male lions are particularly vulnerable as their higher energy expenditure and roaming behavior expose them to greater risks from climate impacts, including decreased prey and water availability. In contrast, young female lions face challenges related to reproductive health and cub survival. While both sexes are affected, young males are more prone to the negative effects due to their solitary lifestyle and increased conflict risks.
