Introduction
Lion
The lion is a large cat and beast of prey in the Carnivora order, it is known as the "king of the jungle".
The lion is the second-largest surviving feline, second only to the tiger, it is also the only--a species of gregerious and hermaphroditic feline. Adult male lions have long manes on their necks, but female lions do not. Newborn lion cubs have spots on their bodies. Lions are mainly found in Africa, there are also small numbers of lions in Asia, there used to be lions in Europe, but they are now extinct. In addition, in prehistoric times, Europe, Asia and North America were also home to close relatives of the modern lion, such as now-fossilzed lions, cave lions, and the brutal lion, and their size was larger than even today's lions or tigers, tied with the saber-toothed tiger as one of the largest cats in history, but they didn't have manes like modern lions. Different lions live in grasslands, deserts and many other environments.
A lion's preys include zebras, antelopes, warthogs, bison, etc., they also hunt down even large animals such as hippos, giraffes, rhinos and elephants, as well as small animals like birds, hares, and baboons. They also prey on other carnivores like cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, jackals and crocodiles. As pack animals, lions often hunt cooperatively. Most of the hunting is left to the lionesses, the male lion is responsible for defending the territory. Lions also prey on domestic animals and even harm humans.
