My Favorite Animal

My favorite animal has always been the Lion. I have always loved how they are fierce and regal, but I also like that they stick together in groups, known as Prides. Lions are one of the four Big Cats, a group that consists of Lions, Tigers, Leopards, and Jaguars. They are the second largest of the group, behind only Tigers. Wild Lions can be found in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Lions are much more social than other cats, and tend to travel in Prides consisting of related females and cubs as well as a few adult males. Lions are Apex Predators, but they have also been known to be quite friendly and gentle with humans whom they have grown accustomed too.
