Lion - The Most Social Animal Out of All Cats

Lions are a part of the cat family. These amazing
creatures are considered to be the second largest
species of cats that are alive in the world
today. At one point in time, lions were found in
many parts of the world. Nowadays, they are only
found in some parts of Africa and Asia. Many
lions have died out because they have lost their
habitats. This is because humans have started
building in area where the lions used to live.
Within the past 20 years, the population of
lions has decreased by 50 percent. If things
keep going the way that they are, soon lions
will become extinct.

Lions typically live anywhere between 10 and 15
years in the wild. Males seem to have a shorter
lifespan than females, but this is because male
lions tend to incur injuries from fighting. When
they are in captivity, lions can live up to 20
years. There are many different kinds of
habitats that lions can survive in, but they are
typically found in savannahs and grasslands.
These animals are extremely social, and they
live and hunt together in packs that are called
prides.

Lions are the tallest out of all of the species
of cats that exist on the planet; however, they
are not the strongest. Depending on the species
of the lion, its colors will vary. There are
also many differences between the male and
female versions of this species. Males are known
for having a large mane, which is a growth of fur
that surrounds their face. When it comes to
hunting, the females are typically the ones that
will go out in search of food.

Lions typically live together in prides, and
they stay in certain territories within their
habitats. It is the male lions' job to keep an
eye on the territory while the females go out
hunting. When a female lion gives birth to cubs,
she will look after them until they are able to
survive on their own. In most cases, the cubs
will stay within the pride that has already been
established.

Lions are carnivores, and feed on the animals
that live in their habitat. However, lions are
unable to run for long distances without
becoming tired. This is why most lions will hunt
in a pack. By doing this, they are able to
surround their prey in order to catch it. Once
the prey has been caught, the lions then share
the meat with the hunters eating first.
