Lion

Magnificent feline, the lion is a symbol of strength and courage. It is the most powerful and largest carnivore in Africa. Recognizable by its long mane, the lion was baptized king of the animals. It has a long body with impressive muscles and powerful legs with claws. This large predator weighs almost 250 kg. He reigns over his territory and protects his clan made up of several females. It feeds on cattle and also hunts other animals such as buffaloes, giraffes, zebras or warthogs. It can devour up to 30 kg of meat at one time. The white lion is very rare in he wild, its fur giving it a definite disadvantage when it comes to hunting. Indeed, it makes it too visible to the eyes of its prey. It therefore lives mainly in nature reserves or zoological parks.
