We eat gazelle, warthog, antelope, impala, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and giraffe. Sometimes we catch smaller prey like hare. We as Panthera leo are the biggest cats after the Siberian Tiger.
Lions are the only truly social cat species.
Our friends, like tiger, leopard, cheetah, lynx, jaguar, puma and ocelot lead solitary lives. Our prides consist of up to twelve related adult females, their cubs and up to six males. Lions roar to keep intruders away from our kingdoms and roaring helps to keep together the members of a pride. We prefer to live in lightly wooded country, rich grasslands and thickets on the borders of plains. Lions do not like dense forests.
