Lions have been the symbol of strength, nobility and power for many cultures. In a pride of Lions, it is the female Lions who go out hunting for food, sometimes in groups. Lions sit comfortably at the top of the food chain in the wild — this makes them the apex predator in their natural habitat. Sadly, the only thing that threatens their population is habitat loss, due to human expansion. They can also leap as far as 10 meters! They only live in plains and grasslands.
The darker the color, the older the Lion! For many years lions have been threatened by the destruction of their habitat and by illegal poaching. Lions have already been practically wiped out from Asia—Asiatic lions are listed as 'endangered' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, whilst other lions are categorised as 'vulnerable.

Up until the 19th century lions were also commonly found in Asia. Lions can only mate with consent of the lioness. Lions are raised at the heart of the pride from 4 weeks old. It is truly amazing that tiny female Balinese tiger skulls have cranial volumes as large as those of huge male southern African lion skulls.
It had previously been assumed that social species such as lions would have larger brains than solitary species like tigers, to cope with the demands of a complex social hierarchy, according to Science Daily. Yamaguchi said: "Our results strongly suggest that there is no detectable positive relationship between relative brain size and sociality amongst these four big cat species, which shared a common ancestor around 3.
The researchers are now planning to investigate what caused the variation in brain size among big cats.
