King of the jungle
  • Hello guys 👋 I have something to share with you guys 😊☺️ and I hope you like it ☺️.

  • We always say lions are the king 👑 of the jungle right of course they are .Do u know that the word called lion is from a Latin word called leo.

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the family Felidae and a member of the genus Panthera. It has a muscular, deep-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions have a prominent mane and with a typical head-to-body length of 184–208 cm (72–82 in) they are larger than females at 160–184 cm (63–72 in). It is a social species, forming groups called prides

Do u know that Lions can sleep for hours 😂. Lions spend much of their time resting; they are inactive for about 20 hours per day.🤭😮😮😮😮.Although lions can be active at any time, their activity generally peaks after dusk with a period of socialising, grooming and defecating. Intermittent bursts of activity continue until dawn, when hunting most often takes place. They spend an average of two hours a day walking and 50 minutes eating.

Some were In India, sambar deer and chital are the most commonly recorded wild prey,while domestic livestock may contribute significantly to their diet.

African lions live in scattered populations across Sub-Saharan Africa. The lion prefers grassy plains and savannahs, scrub bordering rivers and open woodlands with bushes.
