This year,\u00a0<a title=\"The World Sustainability Foundation\" href=\"https:\/\/worldsustainabilityfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #2828da;\">The World Sustainability Foundation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is marking the day by sharing with you all there is to know about Lions, scientifically known as\u00a0<b><i>Panthera Leo.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Lions are mammals which are part of the Felidae family, they are the second biggest member of the family with tigers taking the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">This specimen can reach 1.8 to 2.1 meters in fully grown males, weighing up to 230 kg. Females, called lionesses, are slightly smaller, reaching 1.5 meters and weighing 120-180Kg. Having short coats that vary from light yellow to orange-brown with the tip of its tail darker than the rest of the body, the male\u2019s mane is its most outstanding feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Like domestic cats, lions have retractable claws used only in defense or to secure and help cut its prey. This majestic mammal is one of the most unique cats; being the only one that lives in groups, also known as pride. Their group may consist of 4 to 37 members; mainly females, that will hunt, feed and protect the cubs with one adult male. There are also groups which comprise only young males.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>Nutrition<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Lions are strict carnivores, meaning they will feed only on living prey hunted in groups, or steal from hyenas and cheetahs. Their preys consist of a variety of animals, like Cape buffalos (Connochaetes sp), baboons (Papio sp), and occasionally lonely old elephants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Primarily, the lionesses are the only ones in a regular group that will be seen hunting, though lone males or male-only groups need to secure their own food. But a lioness never eats first, the leading male even without any effort in hunting, will be the first to taste the food, and he will eat until full. The remaining carcass is then left for other members of pride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">A pride hunt is a demonstration of raw force but with little strategy, hence why only 25% of the hunts have successful kills, and this number goes down with smaller groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>Reproduction<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Reaching sexual maturity at age three, lions in the wild breed once every two years, on rare occasions. However, when in captivity they can breed every year, due to the abundance of resources in comparison to the wild.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Both sexes are polygamous particularly the males, with the lioness being restricted to the leading male of the group. When receptive, they copulate up to 50 times a day, for 3 to 4 days straight; stimulating the female\u2019s ovulation and securing the lion\u2019s paternity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">The lion to mate will most certainly be the leader of the pride, but once in a while a foreign male will try its luck with the lioness of pride, or even challenge the dominant male in a brutal fight to earn its group. In this case, the loser is not only unable to mate, but most likely eventually dies due to injuries sustained during the crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">The gestation lasts about 108 days with litters varying from one to six cubs, they are then looked after by the entire group; feeding, and teaching them how to fight and hunt. Most of them will be forced out of the pride after reaching sexual maturity, hence the lonely male or males only pride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>Where?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Ironically, although widely known as the \u201cking of the jungle\u201d, lions\u2019 natural habitat is in the savannahs, ecosystems of bushy lowlands with few trees. The biggest part of the population is in sub-Saharan Africa, but there\u2019s a small group living in the Gir Forest in India, a dry deciduous forest full of Tectona grandis, also known as Tea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">They can also be found in the Northern Namibian deserts, living close to the four rivers: Hoanib, Barab, Obab, and Ugab.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>Threats<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">All subspecies are listed as Vulnerable and decreasing in number, by the IUCN\u2019s (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Threats include the destruction of their natural habitats, urban development, farming and cattle expansion; causing not only habitat destruction, but also making them the \u201cbad guys\u201d to farmers for eating livestock, which serves as their last source of nutrition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">Pollution of land and water bodies, human disturbance such as hunting, animal trafficking and pseudo-science, witchcraft uses of fur, paws, teeth and claws for aphrodisiacs and cure, as well as to attract power, are all threats to the Lions\u2019 existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>Fun Facts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><i>Here are some fun-facts about the Panthera Leo\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>*There are currently three living subspecies of Lions: Panthera leo leo, known as the<\/b>\u00a0<b>Northern Lion, Panthera leo melanochaita, the Southern Lion, and the most<\/b>\u00a0<b>numerous one the Panthera leo persica, the Indian Lion.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>*Most lions subspecies were extinct about 2,000 years ago when they used to be<\/b>\u00a0<b>hunted and thrown in the Roman coliseums for combat.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;\"><b>*Captive lions can reproduce with other giant cats, such as tigers.
