Meet the Lion: The King of the Jungle
The lion (Panthera leo) is a truly majestic creature, known for its powerful build, tawny coat, and distinctive mane. Lions are the only truly social big cat, living in prides that can consist of up to three males, around a dozen females, and their young cubs. They're native to Africa and, until recently, India, but their populations are sadly declining due to habitat loss and hunting.

Fun Facts about Lions
- Lions can run up to 50 mph (80 km/h) for short distances and can leap as far as 36 feet (11 meters).
- They're the only cat that can purr and roar at the same time.
- Lions sleep up to 20 hours a day, which is why they're often called the "king of the jungle" - they're awake when the other animals are sleeping!
