Lion Facts For Kids Ages 6-8
In the Clouducated Kids Nonfiction Book, Lion Facts For Kids, you will learn many interesting facts about lions.
- Lions are king of beasts: Lions are one of the four big cats. Tigers, leopards, and jaguars are the other three. Lions are known as the king of beasts at the top of the food chain. They are fierce predators.
- Lions live in prides: Most cats live alone, but lions live in groups, called prides. Prides are like large families. Most of the pride members are female relatives, such as mothers, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, and sisters. Male cubs leave the pride when they are 2-4 years old. There are only a couple of male members in a pride. The males are not related to the females. There is one dominant male and a few other males that help to protect the pride.
- Lions search for food: Lions travel many miles in search of food and water. Lions are carnivores. They eat wildebeest, antelope, zebras, giraffes, hippos, wart hogs, elephants, birds, rodents, fish, snakes, and lizards.
- Lionesses do most of the hunting: Lionesses work in teams to hunt their prey. They do most of the hunting for the pride. They hide behind shrubs and tall grasses as they creep silently closer to their prey. With a burst of speed, they rush at the prey. Meanwhile, other lionesses from the same pride are hiding on the other side of the prey waiting for them as they try to escape. After an animal is killed, the lionesses no longer work as a team. They hiss and snarl at each other, competing for the favorite parts, such as the heart, liver, and lungs.
