Lion
In Swahili, the word for lion is ‘simba’ which means king or strong. The lion is indeed top of the African food chain. To recover from their short but intense bursts of activity, the lion spends 21 hours sleeping!
They live in prides up to 30 lions. The purpose of a lion’s mane is to make it look fearsome. They live in a matriarchal society where the lionesses obtain food. The lion’s job is to patrol & mark the pride’s territory & look after the cubs while the lionesses are hunting.
