Lions live in social groups called prides, which can include up to 40 members.
Lions can run at speeds of up to 80 km/h, but only for short distances.
A lion’s roar is the loudest among big cats, reaching 114 decibels and heard up to 8 km away.
Lions are apex predators, capable of taking down prey as large as buffalo or wildebeest.
Male lions typically guard the pride’s territory, while females do most of the hunting.
Lions can leap up to 11 meters in a single jump to ambush prey.
