The lion is a majestic and iconic big cat, often referred to as the "king of the jungle" (though it actually lives in savannas and grasslands). 🦁 Males are distinguished by their impressive manes, while females, or lionesses, are skilled hunters. Lions live in social groups called prides, working together to hunt and protect their territory. They are apex predators, playing a crucial role in their ecosystems. Think of them as the royal family of the African savanna.
