 Lions (Panthera Leo)




ROAR!! These big cats' roar can be heard from at least 4 miles away on the southern African plains. Lions are a very distinct (stand out) cat, not just because of the male's appearence, but of the fact that lions are actually the only big cat to live in a group! These groups are called prides. Most prides have about 5 lions in them. Prides mostly consist of lioness (such as in the picture above) that work together to bring down large prey weighing as 2,200 pounds!!!! That's heavy!!!











                       Rarely noticed
They are the snowflakes on the golden plain. They are still lions even if they are not the smooth golden that lions are. White lions aren't widely known, but they are still lions, still live in prides, still work together.
