The lion is from the cat family and is very predatory. It is 3 meters long including its tail. It is about 1 meter tall and weighs about 230 kg. Male lions have manes. This mane gives the lion a very majestic appearance. The hairs on the mane are hard and durable. Its skin is a mixture of light brown and yellow. There are also lions with dark brown colors, but they are much rarer than others. Male lions fight for the female during mating season. It is thought that the manes of the males become darker as they win the fights they make among themselves. It has been observed that males with dark manes are preferred by female lions when choosing a mate. Lions are extremely social animals and herd life is indispensable for them. Lions, who have a regular family life, wander and hunt in herds.
The lion’s distinctive roar is usually heard in the evenings before hunting time and before sunrise. When the lion roars, life in the forest seems to stop. A howling hyena stops its howling, a snarling leopard stops its growling. Everyone becomes silent and listens to the king.
