Sabi Sabi Wild Facts: Lions

1. The largest of Africa’s cats, Lions are heralded the world over as symbols of strength, pride and courage.

2. Uniquely for cats, Lions live and hunt in groups, called prides. They have a highly evolved social structure in the pride, which consists of several related females and their cubs, and two or three territorial males, usually brothers.
