At midday predators often seek shade and rest near the edges of the savanna woodlands

Many predators are most active during the cooler hours of dawn and dusk, and throughout the night. This strategy often leads to better hunting success. Prey animals are more vulnerable in low-light conditions, while midday heat can hinder a predator’s ability to hunt effectively. The bright midday sun also offers prey animals greater visibility to detect predators. During the midday hours, predators often seek shade and rest near the edges of the savanna woodlands.
