Report on Lions By Ana

Lion’s Report

Something very special is that a lion's roar can go up to 8 miles away.
Lion’s can live up to 25 years in captivity. Did you know that lions are one of
the biggest family orientated animals!

Diet

Lion’s eat a lot of things of animals such as antelope, buffaloes, zebras,
elephants, rhinos, hippos, wild hogs, giraffe, crocodiles and tortoise.
They also eat small creatures like mice, rats and birds.

Habitat

Lions live in savannahs and grasslands. They can be found on the western side
of India and also in Africa. They are now only found in the South Sahara
Desert and in parts of Southern and Eastern Africa. Historically lions were
found in Greece through the Middle East to Northern India.

Appearance

Some lions appear to have no manes at all. Lions have tawney or
yellowish brownish fur. Lions have golden fur because they are
camouflage and they want to be blend in with the grass.  
Male lions are larger than female lions.

Endangerment

Lions are under threat of being endangered.

Who is killing the Lions? Group hunting, known in Maasai as Olamaie,
gives the lion population a chance to grow. However, in Kenya, where this
practice is illegal, Olamaie may be used as a reason for retaliatory killing
against lions suspected of killing livestock. Maasai customary laws prohibit
killing a sick or infirm lion.
