The lions are the members of the cat family. The males are larger than the females. People who hunt lions can always tell whether they are tracking a male or a female by the size of the tracks. The male has larger front feet than the female. The lion’s voice is a roar and they rarely climb trees. Lions feed on grazing animals so they live in open country and not in forests. And because they drink once a day, they always live near water.

Lions rest by day and do hunting by night. Lions may live singly, or in pairs, or in groups of four to a dozen which are known as “prides”. There can be up to 40 members in a pride. Over half of them are cubs and young adults. Females will often stay with the pride their whole life and take care of the cubs. The main food of lions is zebras and gazelles. Sometimes a lion will attack a giraffe, but it won`t attack an elephant. When a lion is not hungry, he pays no attention to other animals.

When hunting, a lion may lay hidden until an animal passes close by, and then make a sudden attack. When he makes that attack, it can go as fast as 40 miles an hour.

People once thought of lions as magical creatures, but the survival of this magical animal is in danger. The Persian lion died out about 75 years ago. You can find them only in one region of India. And there is only one fourth the number of lions in Africa as there were just 40 years ago.
