A1Learn more on WikipediaThe lion is a large, muscular carnivorous mammal known for its distinctive appearance, including a majestic mane in males. Lions are social animals that live in groups called prides, typically consisting of multiple females, their offspring, and a small number of males. They are known for their powerful roar, which can be heard from long distances. Lions are skilled hunters that primarily prey on large ungulates such as wildebeest, zebras, and buffalo, using their strength, speed, and teamwork to bring down their prey. They are also opportunistic scavengers and may steal kills from other predators. Lions are found in various habitats across Africa, with a small population of Asiatic lions in India. They are revered as symbols of strength, courage, and leadership, and have been featured in many cultures and religions throughout history.
