1. Discuss some simple facts about lions.
The lion is a large, very strong mammal with short tan fur. Male
lions have a mane of longer hair around the neck and head. Lions
live in the plains and grasslands of Africa and
the Asiatic lion in the Gir
Fur Forest of India. Lions live in groups called a
pride. Lions are carnivores and are
closely related to tigers, leopards, and other big cats that
roar. The African lion is endangered, and the Asiatic lion is critically endangered.
