Shelter for Animal | Lion | Panthera leo is a species from the family Felidae. The lion king is a strong and roar cat, everything that explains its nature is surprising and full of interest. It has long hairs on the head, a strong muscular, a deep chest but short, lion having round head, neck not long not short it would not if we say a reduced neck or joined with body and tail has a bunch of hairs at the end of the tail.

Lion information

The word lion has been derived from the Latin word “Leo” from ancient greek there is the word “Leon” but another word has been supposed and this is “Lavi. Panthera and panther words, are classical Latin or near to Sanskrit word “Pand-ara”.

The scientific name of lion

Lion’s scientific name is “ Felis Leo” and this name was used by Carl Linnaeus and this name was derived in 1758. In the 20th century, the word lion was distinguished on the basis of lion appearance, color, size, and habits. These qualities and characteristics show too much to know and examine nature related to each species of nature it could be a lion or cat.

The characteristics of the lion gave back too much to the scientists to create or divide sub-species and the cat is one of them with little same characteristics. In the 19th or 20th century there was a surprise when scientists divided some lions into subspecies. Or supposed to be as sub-species.

Lion size

As compared with the cat it would not wrong from the world the lion has been identified as a cat. So the height or length is about to in cm 184-208 and in inches, we could say it is 72-82 inches. It would interesting to say the female’s length is not as large as male lions. Male lions have a great larger size than female lions. Females size at 160=-184 in cm and from the inches there is the value of 63-72 in.

There is a lot of things to share and extract from lion life and one thing to remember is, a lion is a social species. Its group called or known as pride. The Group of lions is known or called Pride and a pride of lions also consists of few or some adult lions. These adult lions are male. And these male lions would be related to females.

Usually, a group of female lions hunts together mostly preying on large ungulates. The lion is a keystone predator and an apex. There is most hunt prey by lions and they have been hurt by humans. The strange thing is this species normally not does this or repeats this.

Lions habitat

A young or dependent creature always wanted to live free and independently it could be human’s lives or animal’s lives. All creatures are trying or struggled to live freely for the calm of life. The lion is one of the kinds of nature. The lion is also known as “ the king of the forest” So, the word forest is the point where we try to find it. Lion’s permanent habitat is Forests. They are most founded by forests and have a huge average of their species.

From Africa, North America, and Eurasia there was a large amount of this species. But for now, the number of lions has been decreasing or reduced just because of the population, and this population effected by most sub-Saharan Africa. From or in western India on the IUCN Red List since 1996 and African countries have been declined by 43 percent.

Issues or troubles from human culture is one of the shameful cause for natural or wildlife. Human culture has the same variations but time to time the concerns of their needs and depends on wildlife. More area covered of forests by humans and the wildlife got or have to move on for the next habitat.

Lion Species

There are lots of species named sister species to the modern lion

P.I Sinhaleyus , P. Leo Fossils
Middle pleistocene
Panthera spelaea

The lions have been bred with tigers to create hybrids and this reason is the increasing curiosity of visitors. This experiment has successfully taken place and this would be used for scientific purposes and exploring nature. After hybrids with tiger and lion, there is another species known as Liger. The liger is larger than the lion and tiger. But some of them are small if we compare them with their parents. And it would be the gene effects.

The lion is one of the most attractive and attraction-grab animals from wildlife, forest, and zoos. This one has round ears, a reduced neck, very colors like grey, brown, dark brown, and yellowish. The color from their underparts has a lighter color. Every single life has great and interesting characteristics by nature and by acting or behavior.

The newborn baby has spots on his body. And as soon as the baby cub got adult or reached adult life the spots get disappear. Roundhead, with huge hairs or a bunch of hairs on its head. Small eyes, long teeth, and a bunch of hairs at the end of the tail.

Appearance & colors variations
