Lions are members of the large jungle cats, which also include such animals as tigers and leopards. Once common in many parts of the world, lion populations today are drastically reduced. Lion fossils recovered in Tanzania date back 1.5 million years. This book explores their family groups, habits, and hunting skills. Their majestic stride and powerful bodies have earned the lion the title of king of the jungle.
