Lion is the king of the jungle. They are found in Africa and India. Gir National Park in Gujarat is where lions are conserved in India. Their females are called lioness. One fact is that these mammals hunt during storms. Their preys are giraffe, porcupine, reptiles, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, etc. Illegal killing, climate change, etc. are some of the threats to lions. Their group is called a pride. Lions are also the second largest big cat after the tiger. Simba is a Swahili word meaning 'lion'. Their roars are so loud that you can hear them eight kilometers away!
