Lions have fascinating habits and preferences! Here are some interesting facts about them:

1. Habitat and Territory:

   • Lions prefer open plains and savannahs with access to water sources like rivers, streams, or lakes. They also need grasslands and trees for shade from the strong African sun.
   • Lions require a large area of land to roam and hunt, which can be up to 100 square miles depending on prey availability

2. Resting and Activity:

   • These majestic creatures spend up to 21 hours each day resting and sleeping. They conserve energy by resting during the day and becoming more active at night when it’s cooler

3. Hunting Behavior:

   • Lions primarily hunt herbivores, such as ungulates. Zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes are common prey in Africa.
   • Interestingly, lions also hunt during storms. The noise, rain, and wind make it harder for prey to see and hear them, increasing their chances of a successful hunt

4. Social Structure:

   • A pride of lions typically consists of related females and their cubs, along with a male or a small group of males who defend the pride.
   • Lionesses rear their cubs together, and cubs can suckle from any female with milk.

So, lions love their vast territories, resting during the day, and the thrill of hunting—especially during storms! 🦁🌟
