Lion (Tawny)
overview
Lions are big cats known for their powerful, muscular bodies, large heads, and striking features. Male lions stand out with their impressive manes, which frame their heads, necks, and sometimes extend to their shoulders and stomach.
Unlike other big cats, lions are highly social animals, living in family groups called prides that work together to hunt and protect their territory. They are one of the most recognized and admired creatures in the animal kingdom.
