Believe it or not it is actually cooler in the summer by a few degrees or so. In the savanna it’s tropical range is 68 to 86 degrees. In the winter it averages about 68 to 78 degrees. Their territory is in scrubs, grasslands and or open woodlands.
Lions that live in the wild live to around 12 years. Lion’s need their pack, food, and their night vision. Lions need their pack to hunt and protect territory (biotic). Lions need food to survive(biotic). They need night vision for hunting at night (abiotic). They need night vision because their eyes are 6 times more sensitive than humans eyes.

This leopard seal, and many others, hunt in the frigid waters of Antarctica. All adult leopard seals have a spotted coat which makes them look like leopards which is how they got their name. Their coat is also dark gray at the top and white or light gray at the
The leopard seal is second only to the killer whale among Antarctica 's top predators. Its canine teeth are 2.5 cm (1 in).[17] It feeds on a wide variety of creatures. Smaller seals probably eat mostly krill, but also squid and fish. Larger leopard seals probably switch from krill to more substantial prey, including king, adelie, rockhopper, gentoo, emperor, and chinstrap penguins, and less frequently, other seals, such as crabeater seal.
They inhabit rocky and sandy beaches of coastal islands and mainland shorelines. They may frequent inhabit sandbars; sheltered coves; tide pools; and structures such as piers, jetties, and buoys. California sea lions live for an average of 15 to 25 years. However, they can live 30 or more years.
Totem poles are a way to show who you are through symbolism. In the novel Touching Spirit Bear, Cole uses a totem pole to remind him how he needs to act everyday of his life.

Lions are large felines that are traditionally depicted as the "king of the jungle. " These big cats once roamed Africa, Asia and Europe. However, now they are found in only two areas of the world and are classified into two subspecies. Asiatic lions live in India 's Gir Forest; African lions live in central and southern Africa. Though they look similar, these two subspecies are very different in size, habitat, diet and
A lion’s length is variable and can range from 2.05 m to 3.5 m, while reaching a maximum height of 1.09 m (Yuan and Chan 2008). A lion’s weight can hover between 120-250 kg (Yuan and Chan 2008). Their fur can range from pale yellow to brownish orange or golden (Yuan and Chan 2008). Their jaws and forelimbs are very powerful (Yuan and Chan 2008).
• US, the biggest importer of lion trophies added new protections for lions under the ESA listed subspecies of lion found in eastern and southern Africa as endangered making it harder for hunters to import lion trophies (west and central African, and Indian lions are already listed as endangered) and people already convicted of a WL violation will be denied a permit for importation. • In US hunters would have to get a permit from the FWS to bring back trophies (have to have direct proof the import will enhance the survival of the species) • A coalition of 10 African countries banned together to propose stronger international protections that ban the commercial trade of lions and their parts • More than 40 airlines including delta, American airlines, British Airways, and Air Canada banned the
Hunters are also different from the way their mood is toward playing the game. The hunters don 't need to worry about getting hunted or caught by their predator. They aren 't going to be scared when the game starts. They don 't need to worry about being hunted. Also,
B. Still, trophy hunters kill roughly 600 of these animals every year, compounding lions ' to other threats, like habitat loss and retaliatory killing as an endangered species. ( Pimm. Pg 2 ) II. Hunting is clearly not the same as is was in the good old days.
As the most powerful eagle in Africa, the crowned eagle is able to kill animals weighing up to 44 pounds (20 kilograms). The eagle 's long hind talon helps break the prey’s spine. A favorite method of hunting is to sit in a tree overlooking a waterhole or clearing and then simply drop down onto the prey. When hunting monkeys, a crowned eagle flies over the forest canopy until a troop of monkeys can be heard. The eagle lands on a branch and tries to get as close as possible to the monkeys without being seen before attacking.
Imagine you are visiting the wild forest of Southeast Asia. You suddenly hear a hissing noise you then realize it 's a mongoose and king cobra fighting. In a blink of an eye the fight got more intense. Who do you think you get the victory? Many people have studied and researching about these exciting animals and how they adapted in the wildlife.
Our study started off very differently to how it ended up. Originally from the first visit to Paignton Zoo, conducted the couple of weeks before the main study, we observed interesting behaviour involving the Asiatic Lion group. The group consisted of a male, two females and two cubs. The male was being protective towards the cubs and the mother but spending most his time near the other female in the group. At this time we did not know the background of the group.
The Theme in both stories is “let the wild animals be wild”. You should not keep lions in cages because they will not be able to live on there our own in the wild when they're to big to fit in a cage. In my opinion I think that Lion should not be in cages they should be set free to live in the wild. In “The Wild Life of Christian the Lion” this happens “They watched Christian from a distance,
South Africa is the world's 24th nation with the highest population. The largest animal in Africa is the elephant and the elephant is endangered for that 100 elephants are killed a day. The tallest animal is the giraffe and it is not one of the endangered animals. Also sadly African lions are endangered to. People kill animals for fur, to make blankets, architects, and plenty more.
