The central subject in the 2004 released movie entitled Pride, the feature delved into the world of lions, focusing on the lives of two lion cubs growing up and dealing with the harsh realities of the wild. Combining actual lion cub footage with computer generated graphics, the movie featured the voice talents of Kate Winslet, Sean Bean, Martin Freeman, Rupert Graves and more.
As one of the world’s big cats, the lion is considered to be the second largest of the group, with Tigers being the biggest. With male lions defined by their manes, male lions are known to have weighed as much as 250 kilograms, with a number of these known to weigh even more.
Found in Africa and in parts of Asia, the lion is regarded to have been one of the most widespread mammals prior to the Pleistocene era. With lifespans known to range somewhere between 10 to 15 years (more when in captivity), lions are considered to be the most social of all the big cats, typically found in groups composed of females an alpha male and younger males.
As big cats, lions are mostly nocturnal, given the fact that they sleep most parts of the day. As large and as majestic as both male and female lions are, their populations are currently at risk of being endangered, one which countless initiatives and efforts are intent in putting to a halt, in repopulating the lion’s dwindling numbers.
