African Lion

[Deleted]

The African Lion (Panthera leo) is a vulnerable and declining big cat that lives in Africa.
Lions average 420lbs while lionesses average 280lbs.
Lions are 36-44'' in height while lionesses are 34-40'' in height. Lions are around 6.4ft long as with lionesses.
Lions are the only big cat that forms prides. African lion prides consist of females and 1 or more males that defend the territory.
Lionesses do most of the hunting and hunt buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, kudu etc. along with rival predators. Lions may also partake in hunts.
Lions go through harsh natural selection, males fight to take over a pride. They go for the spine and neck when fighting. When lions mature into adulthood they are exiled from the pride and live nomadically. They may form coalitions when exiled from the pride they were born, and these coalitions can compose of up to 5 members which can reign over a larger territory than lone lions. They will work together to take over a pride.

Always thought this was the best distribution map for the Lion.

Can you find good lion and lioness height and length measurements? I think I have it accurate but the research was a minefield of BS.

When I get time perhaps. Otherwise it would be good if someone else did it. I really miss Cojimar. I hope one day he searches his name and finds this. He was like this robotic autist guy that studied the shit out of all animal sizes to extreme lengths so you just knew with confidence he was always accurate and had already gone through all the BS and worked it out.
