Lion (Panthera Leo) - Lions are the second largest members of the feline family in the world. Lions are tan in colour and have a slightly white under-body, with a tuft of black hair at the end of their tails. Lions have developed a social system based on teamwork and a division of labour within the pride. The average pride consists of about 15 individuals, including five to 10 females with their young and two or three territorial males that are usually brothers or pride mates.
