Two lion subspecies exist in the wild: the African lion and the Asiatic lion.
Lion cubs are born with spots, likely aiding in their camouflage in tall grass.
A lion pride comprises one or more male lions, several related female lions, and their offspring.
Lions employ clever hunting tactics, preferring to hunt at night or during storms to catch prey off guard.
Lions roar collectively to defend their territory and deter potential rivals, a behaviour unique among cats.
Lions are known to spend up to 21 hours per day resting and lounging.
While the average wild lion lives 10-14 years, some can survive up to 20 years.
