King of the Pridelands

Lions are sometimes called "The King of the Jungle". First of all, lions do not live in the jungle. Lions live in the grasslands and savannas in Africa. So I think a better name for lions would be "King of the Grasslands", or "King of the Pridelands", like in the Disney movie The Lion King.

Lions live in packs called "prides". This is common knowledge to most people. The pride is a basically a social system that divides the work between the lionesses. Usually, a pride is made up of about 15 to 20 lions. 10 females, their cubs and three or four male lions that are usually brothers. The lionesses hunt for food while the male lions patrol the borders of the pride's territory. 

Lions spend most of their days sleeping and resting. They usually sleep for 16 to 20 hours everyday. The other few hours of the day are spent hunting, grooming and protecting the borders.

Lions seem to have it pretty good! And the male lions have cool manes! I would love to have a mane!
