Lion

Lions were powerful feline predators that traveled and hunted in large groups, known as prides. Male lions had large manes of golden fur. They were responsible for defending the pride against any attackers. Female lions, who had no manes, were the hunters of the pride. They used group tactics to hunt and provide food for the entire pride.
