Lions
"The King of the Jungle"(or is it)
Hunting
The hunting lioness waits patiently in the tall grass, looking at the prey. Then the lion strikes and kills the buffalo, and brings it back to the pride.
A symbol of power
Represents strength, courage, and bravery. It is the top of the food chain. 2000 years ago, they were used in gladiator contests.
A family affair
Lions depend on family to survive. Families are called prides. All females are related in a pride. Lions sleep up to twenty hours a day. Sleeping helps them cool off.
The Lion today
Today's lions can be traced back to larger lions that lived once before them. Fossils show a marsupial lion has lived in Australia 30000 years ago.
