My favorite animal is a lion because they can be scarey but I belive that they can be nice.They are more scared of you than you are of them.

A lion’s life span is 10-14 years in the wild and when held in captivity it is 20-25 years. They mostly live in sub-Saharan Africa, although they can live in India’s Hur Forest.

They live in groups, called prides, of around 30 lions. Lions usually hunt at night. Females do 85 to 90 percent of the pride’s hunting. There diet is antelopes, buffaloes, zebras, young elephants, rhinos, hippos, wild hogs, crocodiles and giraffes.

Pride members keep track of one another by roaring. Both males and females have a very powerful roar that can be heard up to 8 km (5 mi.) away.Their thick manes, a unique trait to male lions, it protects their necks when they fight with challengers.They are very interesting animals and I hope they don’t go instinct.
