Description
African lion originally photographed summer 2016 at the Kansas City Zoo.
The only social member of the cat (Felidae) family, lions live in large groups called "prides," consisting of about 15 lions. Related females and their young make up the majority of the pride. A single male, or sometimes a small group of 2-3 males, will join a pride for an indefinite period, usually about 3 years or until another group of males takes over.
Lions within a pride are often affectionate and, when resting, seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. The males are territorial, and will roar and use scent markings to establish their domains.
Females do almost all of the hunting. They are mainly nocturnal and work in teams to stalk and ambush prey. Lions inhabit grassy plains, savannahs, open woodlands and scrub country. These landscapes allow the hunters to creep stealthily through vegetation and leap upon their unsuspecting prey.
Kansas City Zoo is a 202 acres zoo founded in 1909. It is located in Swope Park in Kansas City, Missouri. It is home to more than 1,300 animals. In 2008, the Kansas City Zoo was voted one of America's best zoos. It was ranked number one in the nation for African Animals and Exhibits, and had been praised for its 95-acre Africa exhibit as representing five nations with "one of the most extensive collections of African animals we've ever seen."
