In some cultures, people believe that eating a Rhino horn will give them special or magical powers. When they eat, they turn their heads nearly upside down and dip their beaks into the water. The beak then acts like a filter or a net to catch their food. The lion is the largest African cat and they are SSP animals. They live in family groups called prides and are seldom seen alone.
Lions are basically friendly, greeting each other by rubbing their heads and faces together.
These beautiful animals are among the most endangered tigers in the world. It is believed that there are less than 300 of these amazing animals remaining in the jungles. Tigers are hunted for their beautiful pelts as well as their bones which are used for medicinal purposes in some cultures. Tigers tongues are rough for self-grooming and cleaning off the bones of their prey. New Site Design July 2001.
