I don't know why, but I've always liked lions ever since I was a child.'The King Of The Jungle' is always my favourite animal. So which is why I would say that this animal is the best animal I've ever seen.
Characteristics
Lions(Panthera leo) is a vicious predator. So vicious that it got its name as 'The King Of The Jungle'. This animal is muscular, deep-chested cat with a short, rounded head, a reduced neck and round ears. Its fur varies in colour from light buff to silvery grey, yellowish red and dark brown. The colours of the underparts are generally lighter.
Habitat
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight. In the Pleistocene, the lion ranged throughout Eurasia, Africa and North America but today it has been reduced to fragmented populations in Sub-Saharan Africa and one critically endangered population in western India. It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Lion populations are untenable outside designated protected areas. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern.
Lions Life Cycle
A lion life cycle is different from many animals. First, they are a cub, then a young Lion, last they are an adult lion.
A Lion's life cycle is not very complicated. By the age of three male lions can leave their prides and create a new one. When a female lion is four years old, they can have up to six baby cubs. But usually, they have 3 or 4.
A male lion and a female lion’s life span are different. Males live up to 16 years but they usually live to 10 or 12 years. Female lions can live up to 18 years but, usually live to 12 or 13 years. You can tell after reading this people live longer than lions.
