Lions are feared and respected by all the people who come across them.
The lion can be distinguished from the lioness because of the enormous, heavy
mane that covers his powerful head and shoulders. Because of its strength,
majesty and fierceness, the lion is called the King of the Beasts. They are met in
national parks in South Africa and Tanzania. Usually young lions are born three
at a time. They are looked after by both the male and the female.
The cubs are protected by the family when in danger. The females are
those who hunt and the males are those who defend and maintain their territory.
Lions weigh up to 250 kilos.
