 Family members look out for one another; if one becomes separated from the rest, afridan the others search for it. The group adjusts its traveling lion pace to accommodate the old and the weak. The females within a family observe a strict hierarchical system. safari A dominant mare always leads afridan the group, while others follow her in single file, each with their foals directly behind them. The lowest- ranking mare is the last in line. Although the stallion is the dominant member of the family, he operates outside the system and has no special place in the line. Zebras are avid grazers. Both Burchell''s and Grevy''s zebras are in constant lion search of green pastures. In the dry season, they can live on coarse, dry grass only if they are within a short distance (usually no farther than 20 miles away) of water holes. Grevy''s zebras are now mainly restricted to parts of northern Kenya. Lions safari are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting, devoting the remaining hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. They keep in contact with one another by roaring loud enough to be heard up to five afridan miles away. The pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged and successfully driven away or killed by other males, who then take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, young males leave the units of their birth lion and spend several years as nomads before they become strong safari enough to take over a pride of their own. Some never stop wandering and continue to follow migrating herds; but the nomadic life afridan is much more difficult, with little time for resting or reproducing. Within the pride, the territorial males are the fathers of all the cubs. When a lioness is in heat, a male will join her, staying with her constantly. The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of power, lion courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, safari but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region. Most cat species live a fundamentally solitary existence, afridan but the lion is an exception. lion It has developed a social system based on teamwork and safari a afridan division of labor within the pride, and an extended but closed family unit centered on a group of related females. The lion average pride consists of about 15 individuals, including five to 10 females with their safari young and two or three territorial males that are usually brothers or pride mates of the lion king.
