Varying the method and timing of food delivery by either hiding food items in the exhibit for the lions to find or…

Their home range is between 8 and 50 square miles, their natural habitat seems to be shrinking due to humans building roads. Their habitat is getting smaller and smaller leading them to going back to the same feeding areas before it has really had a chance for adequate food sources to grow again.

external features of a lion help them survive in their habitat. Both females and males have a golden tan color that help them camouflage to their surroundings. However, there does exist a white variant which appears once in awhile in some lions. There is a huge external difference that separates males and females which is the male's mane.

male cubs that are born together will stay together throughout their lives. Though, most male coalitions are not related by blood. Especially since males can come together with other independent males during their lone years. Nearly 2/3 of all male lion pairs and almost half of all trios contain unrelated partners. Large male coalitions (groups) can always out compete small male groups for the domination of a pride of females. Coalitions may contain as many as nine males, and within the…

Although, they have a very low chance in meeting in today’s day and age, they did a long time ago. In this paper, I will discuss the…

legendary. .Their diet consists primarily of meat, milk and blood. Other than war, as pastoralists, they face a myriad of challenges to their herds. Their greatest predators and threat to their livelihood is the lion. To face this threat and defeat it, the Maasai would hunt and kill lions.
