This is a lion.

Lions belong to the cat family, but you wouldn't want to keep them as a pet!

Just like you, a lion's family is very important to them.

Lion's do not have any natural enemies. They are King of the Jungle!

Lions use their color to hide in the grass.

They have a smooth covering, just like a cat.

What does a lion eat? Meat, lots of meat. They hunt for their food. Just like a cat will catch mice with their claws, lions will catch their food with their sharp claws and use their big teeth to eat.

Lions spend much of the day napping in the shade. They do most of their hunting at night.

While you are at school, they nap, while you sleep, they hunt.

Sleep tight, Lion!
