11 eye opening facts about lions
The mighty king of beasts, king of the jungle and king maker, the lion is symbolic of power, dominance and nobility. From ancient
history to the modern age, lions have captured the imagination. However, there’s more to these amazing animals than you might
expect. Here’s the most fascinating lion facts and information about lions that may just astound you.
1. The lion is not in fact the biggest big cat
Despite the fact that they can grow up to 3.3 metres in head to body length, and weigh up to 250kg, lions are not the biggest member
of the cat (felidae) family. That honour goes to the tiger.
2. The social butterflies of the cat world
Lions are very social creatures. This is one of the facts about lions that makes them unique in the cat world. They are the only cat to
live in groups, which are called prides. Prides live in clearly marked territories, known as “pride areas”.
The average number of lions in a pride is 15, but it can be as low as 4 and as high as 37. Females make up the majority of any pride,
with most – if not all – of the lionesses likely to be related. There are then a smaller number of males, usually between 1 and 4, plus
any cubs.

, From an evolutionary perspective, prides are thought to make hunting and defending offspring and territory much easier.
3. They Stand Out from the Crowd
Group living is not the only lion fact that makes it stand out from its feline peers. Another unique tidbit of lion information is that it’s
easy to tell the males from the females of the species, a trait known as sexual dimorphism. This is, of course, largely down to the
males’ luxuriant manes.
4. Who Runs the Lion World? Lionesses, of course
It’s females who are in charge of the lion’s share of pride business. Not only do they outnumber the males, but lionesses are the
leaders and main hunters.
5. They’re a Bit Like Teenagers
Male lions share several characteristics with human teens, especially with their proclivity to sleep for 20 hours a day. They are also
mostly nocturnal. Finally, they’re loud. Their thunderous roar is audible from five miles away.
6. Humans are their Biggest Threat
Lions have no natural predators, but their numbers have been in steep decline. When looking at the question of whether lions are
endangered, the IUCN lists their conservation status as vulnerable. It is believed their numbers in the wild have gone from 200,000 in
the 1950s to around 20,000 in the present day. The reasons for this can largely be traced to humans, whether through destruction of
their natural habitat, hunting of their natural prey or hunting lions themselves.
7. Conservation Efforts Are Underway
However, humans are also working hard to save the wild lion. South African conservation areas play a large part in this, protecting the
extant lion population there. And there are various schemes throughout lion habitats to curb hunting.
