Did you know............?

You can tell the age of a lion by the colour of its nose. Lions' noses darken from pink to black as they get older.

Lions are unique for many reasons:-

They are the only cats with manes.
They are the only cats that live in groups (called 'Prides')
They are the only cats that hunt in co-operation with each other.

Researchers have found that if a lion is threatened with two invaders - one with a light mane and the other with a dark mane, the lion will attack the intruder with a light mane, suggesting that a darker mane is a sign of strength.

The racket that hyenas make when devouring prey is irresistible to lions - they know that all they have to do is drive the hyenas away to pinch their dinner!

Lions prefer to hunt at night - probably so that they can sneak up on their prey!

Kids beware! In some countries, it is all too easy to break the law without even knowing!
