Leaping lions
Lions are part of the cat family. They use their wee to create a border.
What they eat.
Female lions go hunting for medium size animals like zebras, deer and wild beasts. Their groups are called prides. They have up to 30 lions in a pride.
Their roar.
Both male and female roar. You can hear their roar up to 8 kilometers away. They start with long, deep roars followed by short, faster ones. lions make other noises. They can meaw, hiss and snarl, like a cat, but louder.
What they look like.
Male lions are much bigger than female lions, and they have a bigger mane/hair which covers their head, neck and stretchers underneath their belly.
Lion cubs have light coloured spots on their fur when their born. These fade away as they grow up. The spots help them camouflage when their young.
Mōrena Mackenzie, this is a fantastic report on Lions, I especially like the alliteration in your title. You have included a lot of detail about Lions and thought about how they fit into the wider cat family. I wonder why male lions have the mane and females do not? Maybe you could find the answer for me.
