The lion is the strongest of the big cat family. ages ago, Lions lived in places like Europe and the middle east but thousands of them were hunted down and today Lions can only be found in africa and India. Lions live in small groups called prides and rather than dense forest, they prefer to live in open grasslands and savannahs. for food, they hunt animals like deer, sambur and zebras. lions are skilled hunters, and as they have very big appetites, they tend to walk over 8km a day in search of prey. The male is much bigger than the female, which is known as a lioness. the male develops a ring of bushy hair around his head and neck. this is called a mane. Lionesses produce 2-3 cubs at a time and are keener on hunting than the males. these majestic cats live up to about 20-25 years.
