Look at the picture. You can see a lion. It looks like a big cat with a mane (1) but, it has some differences as well. Lion (Latin Panthera leo) is a species (2) of predatory (3) mammals (4), one of four representatives of the genus (5) Panthera. It belongs (6) to the subfamily (7) of large cats (Pantherinae) in the family of felines (8) (Felidae).
The lion is reclining on grass somewhere in a savanna. It has a big yellow-brown mane, which in some subspecies is sizable and covers its shoulders, part of the back and chest. With the exception (9) of a mane, the fur on its body is short. Only at the end of the tail is there a brush of long hair. Female lions don’t have manes. It also has a large elongated muzzle with a big black flat (10) nose. It has powerful legs, strong jaws with fangs (11) that can reach a length of 8 cm. Its mouth is downturned and has whiskers sticking (12) out around it. Its front paws are lying in front of it. It looks graceful.
Along with the tiger the lion is the largest of aliving cats. The mass of some males can reach 250 kg. It is difficult to say whether the largest lions are larger than the largest tigers, or not.
Lions inhabit (13) mostly (14) savannahs, but sometimes they can move to a shrubbery or forest. Unlike (15) other felines, they do not live alone, but in special family groups called a pride (16). Females hunt together, in most cases for large ungulates (17). Lions do not hunt people deliberately (18), but cases of attacks on humans have been recorded.
In nature, lions live from ten to fourteen years. In captivity (19) they can live longer than twenty years. Lions are able to mate (20) with tigers (most often Amur and Bengal subspecies) to create hybrids called Ligers.
