The lion is a predator of the panther genus, a subfamily of big cats. This beautiful beast has a second place in terms of its own size compared to other big cats. Leo It’s not for nothing that the lion personifies the king in fairy tales, because he really has royal habits, a majestic gait. The lions have a gorgeous mane, from yellow to orange, some predators have a three-color coloration like in the photo. Such density will be envied by anyone who has sparse hair. The hair on the tail is shorter, on the tip it looks like a small paint brush. These huge animals have an anatomical difference between females and males (this phenomenon is called dimorphism). The weight of the lions is about 170 to 185 kg, the lionesses weigh less (120-125 kg). The largest lion was weighing 375 kg in London Zoo. Lions are no longer than 2 m long (180 cm on average), and 150 cm for females. Surprisingly, the tail is not much less than about 105 cm in length. A record length of a lion is fixed at just over 300 cm.
