The animal in this photo is a lion and are often called"the king of the beasts".The lions are some large males weigh over 250 kg.

Lions are found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru.They usually play in groups.The relatively small females are fast runner over shert distances, and coordinate their hunting of herd animals.They are carnivorous.They eat meat.

Lions aren't on the 'red list' of he animals is danger.People usually hunt lions for fun.I think that it is important to protect these animals.
