I like to write 500 words about lions.

Lions are the only cats that like to live in groups. A lion group has about 20 to 30 members, usually including several generations of females, at least one adult lion and some growing cubs and cubs. Lions are the core of the pride, and they rarely leave their birthplace. Lions may include several adult lions, but there must be only one leader. Adult lions usually don't stay with lions. They wander around the territory all year round to defend the whole territory-usually they can be the leader of the lion group for several months to several years, depending on whether they have enough ability to defeat foreign lions. The number of lions is between 4 and 37, with an average of 15. The territory area of each lion group is quite clear, which can be as small as 20 square kilometers in places with sufficient prey; In areas where prey is scarce, they may have to build up to 400 square kilometers of territory. When a young lion is strong enough (usually 5 years old), it will defeat an old king of lions and become the new ruler. Most lionesses remain in the original lions when they mature, and some are driven away to join other lions. Lions usually spend every day in small groups. When they get together to hunt or eat, they get together.

Lions will try to avoid meeting other lions. Lions mark their territory by roaring and smelling urine. They usually growl every night before hunting and before waking up at dawn to start activities. Lions excrete urine in bushes, bushes or simply on the ground, or leave these pungent odor traces on the passages where they often walk to declare their territory. Sometimes, lions will draw feces on bushes as a mark. When encountering an uninvited guest or just a strange lion passing by, the lion will growl and warn the newcomer, "Don't approach, or you will be killed!" " Sometimes aggressive foreign lions, or perhaps cubs whose internal skills have improved to a certain extent, will challenge the current lion king and try to replace him. At this time, a fierce life-and-death fight is inevitable. It is fortunate that the defeated can be scarred and defeated. Many times, challengers and defending champions have no choice but to succeed or die.

Lions prey on all kinds of objects, from baby gazelles and baboons to giant buffaloes and even hippos, but they prefer to prey on ungulates of medium to high size, such as zebras, impalas and other kinds of antelopes. Sometimes the lion will think of the wild boar and ostrich. In fact, lions eat any meat they can find, including carrion they take from wolves by force or intimidation. If you have to list the lion's diet, it may include all mammals on the African continent that weigh more than 1kg, as well as various birds and some reptiles, such as turtles. Among lions, females are the main hunters. Although the running speed of lions can reach 60 kilometers per hour, their prey often runs faster than them. When hunting, these big cats don't pay attention to the wind direction, so they often expose their smells to their prey; Moreover, compared with their huge bodies and small hearts, lions lack the endurance of long-distance pursuit, and they are exhausted after only a short sprint. Therefore, in most cases, they have to go home empty-handed. In any case, when hunting, lions always approach the target carefully, use all the barriers that can be used as a cover as much as possible to hide themselves, approach the prey to a range of more than 30 meters, and then suddenly and quickly pounce on the target. The lioness clung to her prey as she ran, and then bit her neck until she suffocated. At this time, other members of the lion group will scramble to enjoy the food. In the melee, it is often the strong lion who gets the most and the best meat, while the smaller lion cubs can only get a little or nothing. Lions tend to hunt in Chengqun Yu, and the members of lions spread out to form a fan to surround a group of prey, surround the prey in the middle, and then approach from all directions, waiting for an opportunity to find a unlucky guy when the surrounded herds panic and rush.

Perhaps because of their gorgeous manes, male lions can easily expose their targets, and they rarely participate in hunting. However, it is obvious that their hunting ability should not be underestimated. Lions' hard claws and powerful canine teeth may be more useful against large prey such as buffaloes and adult hippos. Naturally, in the order of eating within the pride, the male lion has indisputable priority, followed by the female lion, and the young lion can only wait to pick up some broken bones and meat. After the lion fills his stomach, he will find a nearby water source to replenish enough water, and then rest nearby for a few days. If there is no water nearby, lions can endure thirst for a long time, because fresh prey is rich in water. An adult lion can rest for a week before hunting after eating more than 34 kilograms of meat in one meal. If there are plenty of prey, the lion and the lioness only spend two to three hours hunting in the morning, dusk or evening every day, sleeping and resting or even just sitting there doing nothing.

I like lions because they are United, brave and strong.
