Did You Know?
Lions sleep up to 20 hours a day — but their 4 active hours are extraordinary. Lionesses do 90% of the hunting while males patrol and protect territory.
The Full Story
The African lion is the apex predator of the savannah and the most social of the big cats. A pride can range from 3 to 40 individuals with complex bonds that rival many primates. The Maasai Mara holds one of Africa's densest lion populations.
