LIONS ARE SO MAJESTIC LOOKING , DEFINATELY KING OF THE JUNGLE. I WISH HUNTERS WOULD STOP POACHING THEM. WE WONT HAVE ANY LEFT.! THAT GOES FOR OTHER ANIMALS TOO.

Lions are so regal. All the big cats are pretty neat.

Leo being the clue.

Why do I keep thinking "if it's too obvious it must be wrong"? Will I ever learn 🤦‍♀️

Lionessa

Traditionally, boys became men in Masai and other African tribes by killing lions--full manhood was nine dead lions. But when the Masai Elders were confronted with the fact that lion numbers were reduced by hunting by 75% in just a few decades, that more than 100,000 lions were now less than 25,000, they decided that the great Masai Warriors would now become guardians of ALL the animals. They now work to convince other tribes to stop hunting.

Lionessa

During the 1960s, a person could buy a lion cub at Harod's department store in London. Two young guys, roommates, bought a male, named him Christian, and brought him home. As the lion grew, his disposition was gentle and good-natured, even when he was grown. The young men learned what Christian needed, and plans slowly began being made to take the lion to Africa, a land he'd never seen, since he was captive-born. A free movie on YouTube called, "A Lion Called Christian." tells true story.
