Lion

The lion is a large, carnivorous mammal known for its strength, social behavior, and striking appearance. Native to Africa and parts of Asia, it has a muscular body, a thick mane (in males), and a powerful roar. Lions live in groups called prides, which consist of related females, their young, and a few males. They are apex predators, primarily hunting large herbivores like zebras and wildebeests. Lions play a vital role in their ecosystems by helping control prey populations. Their impressive presence and social structure make them a symbol of strength and regal power in many cultures.
