The lion is a large, very strong mammal with short tan fur. Male
lions have a mane of longer hair around the neck and head. Lions
live in the plains and grasslands of Africa and
the Asiatic lion in the Gir
Fur Forest of India. Lions live in groups called a
pride. The female is called a lioness and the young are cubs. Lions are carnivores and are
closely related to tigers, leopards, and other big cats that
roar. The African lion is endangered (vulnerable status), and the Asiatic lion is critically endangered.
