Shocking discovery about the little-known lion

Lion species can live for 14 years in their natural environment and 20 years in captivity.

The longest lion (from head to tail) was recorded as 3.6m long. Meanwhile, the heaviest lion named Simba in Colchester Zoo, England has a weight of nearly 375kg. Overall, a lion's day doesn't work for 20 hours. They only spend 2 hours to walk and 50 minutes to eat.

Female lions in the herd play a role of hunting because they are smaller in size.

Male lions have manes and are often excluded from the herd when they mature. The female lions in the herd play a role of hunting because they are smaller, more agile without heavy heavy manes.

The prey of lions often dies due to their strangulation, not their sharp teeth. Food of lions is wild boar, wild boar, buffalo, deer, Gazen antelope, African antelope and zebra. When hungry, lions can search for leftovers from other predators such as jaguars and hyenas.

A female lion can lay four baby lions and mate with many different creatures.
