029_Meet the Animals 29_African Lion

Hello!
Who are you?
 
I'm an African lion.
We are very big cats.
 
African lions live in Africa, right?
Right!
We live near grasslands and woodlands.
 
Do you live alone?
Other big cats live alone.
But lions live in groups called prides.
A pride usually has about 15 lions.
 
I like your mane.
Only male lions have manes.
The manes make us look bigger.
That helps us to protect our pride.
 
You roar loudly!
Male lions roar more than females.
We roar to call our prides.
We also scare other animals away.
 
What do you eat?
We mostly eat wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes.
Sometimes we eat small rodents too.
 
Do you go hunting?
No. Female lions hunt for the whole pride.
They go together at night.
 
I see another lion coming.
I must protect our territory!
Good-bye, African Lion!
