Lions

For Jordan.

Lions are one of the only cats that live in a pride. A pride is a group like a human family or a wolf pack. Sometimes they live in a group of 3 but usually in a group of 15 or more. Sometimes, when a male lion leaves and goes to live with another pride, he kills all of the cubs in the new pride.

Lions are very good hunters. Food for the pride is almost always caught by the female lions. They only eat meat witch means they are carnivores. Their favorite foods are gazelles, zebra, hares, and other small animals. They can eat 50 pounds of meat in one meal!

Did you know, that Lions are really good swimmers? Most cats don’t like water.

Full grown males can way between 330-550. They can run 35 miles per hour.
