Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lions are large cats with a robust build, muscular bodies, and a distinctive mane on males (lions). The mane ranges from blond to black and varies in size among individuals and populations. Lionesses (females) lack a mane and are generally smaller and more agile than males. Lions are highly social animals that live in prides, which typically consist of related females and their offspring, along with a few resident males. Prides vary in size and can range from a few individuals to over 20 lions. Lions are apex predators and primarily prey on large herbivores such as antelopes, zebras, and wildebeests. Lionesses are the primary hunters, employing coordinated tactics to bring down prey, while males often join in for larger kills or defend the pride's territory. Lions are predominantly nocturnal and spend much of the day resting and conserving energy. They are known for their distinctive roar, which can be heard over long distances and serves to advertise territory and communicate with pride members.
