Mostly True

Lions swallow large chunks of meat instead of chewing their food.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (73/100).

The claim that lions do not chew their food but swallow large chunks of meat is generally consistent with known animal behavior. Lions, like many carnivores, have teeth adapted for tearing rather than chewing, and they often swallow large pieces of meat. However, without external evidence, this assessment relies on general knowledge of lion feeding habits.
