Answer 1

how heavy do lions get?
¤The male lion, easily recognized by his mane, weighs between 150-225 kg (330-500 lb) and females range 120-150 kg (260-330 lb)

how many lions generally live 2 gather in prides?
¤ Pride Life
A pride of lions is a family structure. It consists typically of 4-20 females with their cubs, and typically, two or three males.

what do lions eat?
¤ Prey species more commonly taken include zebra, wildebeest, gazelles, antelope and waterbuck. Lions will also hunt smaller animals, when they are hungry and nothing bigger is available. Even crocodiles are occasionally hunted.

how do lions hunt food or prey?
¤ Hunting is done most frequently in the evening, or early morning. Much hunting is also done at night. The moonless part of the night is preferred for hunting.
Once a lion has selected an animal to attack, it will sprint to it and attempt to grab hold of it. Lions are not endurance runners, and need to be fairly close to their faster quarries. Often several individuals will assist in making the kill. Making a kill is generally done in two stages: first, bring the animal down, then actaully kill it. In most cases, this process starts by a lion jumping onto the back of the selected prey animal, and working it's way towards the neck. It will use it's needle-sharp claws to hold onto the animal while doing this. Many animals who are sucessful in escaping being killed will undoubtedly later die from the severe lacerations inflicted by the sharp claws.
Lions are also expert scavengers, and obtain as much as 40 percent of their food by stealing it from other predators, or finding already dead animals.


under wut circumstanses can lions be dangerous to humans?
¤ While a hungry lion may occasionally attack a human that passes near, some (usually male) lions seem to seek out human prey. Some of the more publicized cases include the Tsavo maneaters and the Mfuwe man-eater. In both cases the hunters who killed the lions wrote books detailing the lions' "careers" as man-eaters. In folklore, man-eating lions are sometimes considered demons.

wut efforts r made 2 presverve the lion population???
¤ Far from the caged showcases they used to be, modern zoos seek to preserve and strengthen the bloodlines of the animals they care for.
Another emerging resource in the battle to preserve the lion for posterity is the private amimal owner.

Answer 2

sleep up to 21 hours a day the males

Answer 3

A male can weigh between 330-530. Females between 270-300.
The average of lions in a pride is about 15.
Lions eat both big game and small game and their diet consists of mainly red meat.
The female lions are the hunters and they usually stalk their prey, and they attack a targeted animal from many different angles. They also steal it from other predators, or already finding a dead carcus.
And when lions have food is when they can be dangerous to humans, from trying to protect the kill.
They set aside game reserves, and zoos....
hopefully good enough.......

Answer 4

Male lions can weigh 400 lbs all lions are dangerous to humans don't turn and run. Lions are ambush hunters. Many female lions live in a pride that hunt at night and cool of the morning. In the wild they eat anything they catch and can keep away from there arch enemy Hyaena's. Captive breeding and sanctuary's like the rescue effort in Boyd, Texas. Try to re introduce new DNA into the wild population in Africa. Lions male and female like meat with bones like all cats they can lick bones clean of meat with there tongues. Male lions wander from pride to pride mate and move on. That way strongest male DNA is spread across many females.
