The African Lion Lions also called Panthera Leo are the only cats that live in groups. These groups are known as prides. The pride is a family that is made up of about three males, up to fifteen females and their young ones. There is a dominant male which is stronger and polder than the rest. The other males eventually leave the pride and start their own or take over an existing one. The lionesses are all related. This is because the female cubs stay with the group as they age. You can differentiate a grown up male from the female by the mane. Only the males spot manes. This is a fringe of long hair that runs from the neck to the upper back. In this kingdom, two prides of lions cannot share the same space. A group normally dominates an area close to 100 square miles. The males mark off the area with urine, roaring to warn off strangers and fighting off any intruders. They live in open fields, grasslands and areas with scrubs or open woodlands. The female lions are the ones who hunt for the entire family. Once they make a kill, they invite the rest of the family to feast. They work as a team to make any substantial kill as most of the animals they hunt are either bigger or...more

The Problems Lions Face in Africa In the years past, the lions roamed freely in Africa. Today, most have died and their population has greatly decreased to about 21000. They can only be found in the Sub-Sahara desert and some parts of South and East Africa. Drought was the main reason for their decrease. In 1994 and 2001 they died in large numbers from a disease known as distemper which is caused by drought. Today, global warming is also affecting them. During the drought, the lion's prey weakened because of malnutrition. They were also heavily infested by ticks that carried a blood parasite that made them not to be able to cope with the canine distemper virus. Human encroachment into forest land is interfering with its population. Hunting, poisoning and poaching by farmers is also affecting there survival. In Kenya, the Masai kill them as a show of bravery and courage. This is hampering their population growth. Increase in human population has also affected their growth. The Major conflict with humans is when they prey on the livestock at night. Farmers therefore have a reason to hunt them down. The male lion constantly fights with the other males for dominance in a pride....more
