Lions

 

Lions have been called the kings of the animal world. They are big and strong. These animals can be found wild in Africa and India.

 

Without question, lions are also one of the most popular animals to see in zoos. Almost every zoo around the world keeps a few lions.

 

It is very easy for people to tell male and female lions apart. Lions are the only kind of cat that show this strong difference between males and females. A male lion has a mane, a large collar of hair around the lion's face. Females do not have manes. Male lions are also larger than females. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms (400 pounds).

 

Both male and female lions have very strong mouths. They can break the backs of other animals with one bite. one lion will usually kill between 10 and 20 large animals each year for food.

 

Lions can live in Africa because they can go without water for up to one month. They have no trouble during dry times. (174 words)
