The Lion, Panthera leo, South Africa
The mighty, reverberating, blood-curdling roar of the lion is but one reason for its epithet, ‘king of the wild’. The magnificent beast epitomises African wildlife, being the largest, fiercest and some say the most noble of all its carnivores. The only species of cat that could be dubbed social, lions live in prides, which average 13 animals, but may number as many as 50.Larger prides divide into subgroups within the home range.
