THE AFRICAN LION
The African lion (Panthera leo) has the well-earned reputation of 'King of the Beasts'. Lions are the second largest members of the cat family, weighing up to 500 pounds. They are the only conspicuously social species of wild cats, typically living and hunting in prides ranging in size from 3 to over 20 individuals. These prides are regulated by complex social interactions. Lions are ferocious killers, and appear to exist for the sole purposes of eating, sleeping, and reproducing. They are only active for roughly two to four hours in 24, but their activity is intense in these brief spurts. Competition with other lions, as well as other predators, is fierce, and lions lead a brutal existence. A lion's deep, resonating roar can be heard for miles, and is one of the most unforgettable sounds in the natural world.`  Back to Classic African Wildlife Call toll-free on 1-888-227-8311 or email us at
