Know the Lions

Lions (Panthera Leo) are the largest of all African cats. They are the second largest cat species worldwide, smaller than only the tiger. Lions range in color from nearly white to tawny yellow, ash brown, ochre, and deep orange-brown. They have a tuft of dark fur at the tip of their tail.

Lions are unique among cats in that they are the only species that forms social groups. All other cat species are solitary hunters.

The social groups lions form are called prides. A pride of lions typically includes about five females and two males and their young.
