About Lion
Lions are the only truly social big cats, living in prides that typically include related females, their cubs, and a few adult males. Found primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, with a small population in India's Gir Forest, they are apex predators that can weigh up to 250 kg (550 pounds). A lion's roar can be heard from up to 8 kilometers (5 miles) away.
Size Overview
A male lion stands about 120 cm (4 feet) at the shoulder, roughly the height of a kitchen counter. This puts its head at eye level with many adult humans, making it an imposing presence. When lying down, its body length can exceed the width of a queen-size bed.
