Lion Panthera leo
Lions are the only big cats found living in large family groups, called prides. A typical pride consists of two males and seven females and several cubs, every pride differs in size and formation. Females are typically sisters and/or cousins which have been raised together and are usually the hunters of the pride. Hunting is done as an ambush, females chase the prey into the grasps of hiding males. Females are better suited to the chase, and males with the larger bodies have the ability to knock down large prey such as the wildebeast. Lions are more likely to fail than succeed in their attempts to kill.
Weight: males can weigh in at 150-250kg(330-550lbs) and females 120-182kg(275-400lbs).
Height: measured at the shoulder, 1-1.2m(36-48 inches) for males and slightly smaller for females.
Lifespan: the lions life span in the wild is 15-18 years, in captivity 25-30 years

The average lifespan of a lion in the wild is up to 16 years. In captivity, they often live 10 years beyond that.
