MY FAVOURITE ANIMAL
My favourite wild animal is the lion. Probably because lions are strong
and fierce people have always known them as the kings of the jungle.
Lions are mammals; one of the big four cats of the family of the
felidae.Lions typically inhabit savanna and grassland in Sub-saharan Africa and
Asia. They often live in groups called “Prides”.
Lions are carnivore. They are great hunters as they have great physical
skills and in addition they have sharp paws and fangs. Lioness are the
hunters of the pride because they are stronger and more agressive by nature.
When they have targeted the prey they usually rush the prey and leap on it,
killing the animal with strangulation.Preys consist mainly of mammals like
zebras, buffalos, deer,gazelles.
Lions do not have fur but lions are different from lionesses because
they have very long and wavy hair around their heads. Lions have a long tail
ending in a hairy tuft. Lions usually communicate using a “roar”. They can roar
to advertise of an animal’spresence. Did you know that the lion’s roar is the
loudest of any of the cats?. Do you know the name of the baby lion? Baby lions
are called “cubs”.
What about you? What is your favourite animal?
