• 
  The lion = king of animals + feline. Where can we find them?
  
• 
  Hunters= canine teeth, powerful legs +jaw
  
• 
  Fur + baby cubs, famous because of The Lion King movie
  
• 
  Males and females look different: females have no mane.
  
• 
  I would love to see them in nature, not in a cage.
  

Let me tell you about the lion, the king of animals, and also my favorite creature. The lion belongs to the cat family, and it is the biggest of the felines. Lions can be found in eastern Africa in countries such as Kenya and Tanzania.
They live in the grassland and are renowned for their hunting skills. They eat weaker prey such as zebras or antelopes. The lion can bring down and kill large animals with its powerful legs and its strong jaw. It has very long canine teeth.
Lion fur varies from light brown to yellowish-reddish. The lion's babies are called cubs, and they are usually born with spots on their fur that vanish when they reach adulthood.
Male and female lions look distinctly different. The lioness lacks (= doesn't have) the male's thick mane (= hair around the head). I read that the manes make hunting more difficult for lions, and they also keep the male lions hot when temperatures get warm. But this mane makes lions appear larger: it is their way of impressing and intimidating (= scaring) other animals. It is a symbol of their power and virility.
I have seen lions in a cage at the zoo once but I would love to go to Africa to observe their daily lifestyle. One of my dreams is to go on a safari someday.
