The lion is a large and powerful predator, a representative of the feline family. This is one of the strongest and most powerful cats on Earth, second only to the Amur tiger in size, but there are no bigger cats on the African continent. Therefore, in the culture, lions began to be considered the real “kings of all animals”, and they have gained their fame since time immemorial, constantly appearing in various legends of peoples. It is in many ways a unique animal. The biggest difference between a lion and other cats is their sociability and sociality; they live in groups called prides. Lions belong to the family of big cats, which means that males and females can growl. This is a daytime animal, but if necessary, caused by danger, it easily adapts to the night, having excellent night vision. Since 1996, it has been included in the IUCN red list, since the number of lions has decreased by 43% since the 1990s.
