Silky

When the sun is low on the horizon during sunrises and sunsets, the sunlight travels through more of the atmosphere. Shorter wavelength colours (blues and violets) get scattered out. This leaves more of the longer wavelength colours like yellow, orange, and red. This is why sunrises often take on such colours. When the sun is higher in the sky, smaller particles scatter much of the blue wavelength, which is why the sky appears blue. The human eye is more sensitive to blue than violet otherwise our characteristic blue sky might be violet.

Lions are in serious decline across most of the African continent. According to the most recent International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessment, as few as 20,000 lions remain. The increasing trade in lion bones and other body parts is recognized as a major threat to existing lion populations, alongside habitat and prey loss, human/wildlife conflict and poorly regulated trophy hunting.
