Endangered wildlife and the baby lion in the wild
Lions
any where in the world are endangered species and at the same time, no doubt
the king of the jungle. Is it one of the main reasons why you find the dominant
male lion resting all the time? While you are in a safari in Africa
and you see a lion cub roaring just know it’s a lion behavior and a lion
natural instinct being practiced from the earliest age. But what comes in you your mind when you
think about a young male lion, an adult fenarimol instincts, Baby lion, beautiful amazing baby, captivity, cute lion cubs, endangered animals, female and male lion, lion picture, Lions in the wild, Maasai Mara national park Kenya, young male lions
male lion, female and male lion, a
baby lion or a lion cub? Is it the cute lion cub picture, young male lion
resting or lion cub sleeping after being fed, a cute lion cub playing video or
the biggest lion chasing a zebra in the African savannah only to end up to be
one of the most dangerous animals in the world when it is fully grown at the
beautiful plains of Maasai Mara national park Kenya?
What do people know about the true facts about lion cub when these cute lion cubs are in the confines of the lion pride family?
Unless you go to the African savannah on a lion cub hunting lion safari
to get all the facts at first hand and all the facts about lion which might as
well give you a glimpse of what takes place in the African jungles despite the
fact that with all the information about lions, baby lioness, female lion
facts, mischievous animals, young male lions and lion cubs which is easily
available in both print and electronic media.
It's only those few privileged who
have managed to raise lion cubs, nature them and see them grown who can really
narrate what it is to be a lion cub while you are in the jungle and when these
little lion cubs are raised in captivity.
Where would be the best places to see
baby lion cubs playing, take the best lion cubs pictures, watch lion cubs
sleeping or even a lion hunting a zebra other than in famous places such as
Maasai Mara national park Kenya, South Africa lion park.
Lion
cubs in Africa just like any other endangered wild animals in Africa
face clear and present dangers day in and day out. It’s not just the dangers
from the most dangerous animals of Africa such
as the famous African wild hunting dogs, the spotted hyenas, the climbing tree
leopards or even the fastest animal in the world, there comes a time when lion
eating babies emerge to come and take over the lion’s pride.
For the few lion
babies who manage to escape from the beautiful dangerous giant lion claws end
up to be homeless and are whisked in lion cages, raised and adopted in
captivity in many lion conservation programs for endangered species only to be
re introduced back to the wild when they are fully grown and ready to fend for
themselves in the wild and there after become one of the most dangerous animal
in south Africa, Kenya Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Angola, Malawi or even the most
dangerous animal on earth.
Many
people who love animals and have managed to see these beautiful wild animals of
Africa really appreciate what they see. The
lion birth is not as glamorous as it is in the baby lion king movie and with
all the survival for the fittest animal instincts governing the beautiful
dangerous lion and lioness, many of the lion cubs don’t even reach maturity as
they end up being prey or are attacked by other lion predators or become
victims of lion poaching as well.
A lion
baby or a lion cub is one of the cutest animals among the great big cats of Africa. Explorers, researchers and hundreds of tourist
who have managed to visit the lion country have always been amazed with these
cute little fascinating breathtaking endangered lion babies.
Whether
these wildlife animals in Africa or young
beautiful dangerous lions are zoo lions or forest lions, those visiting these
endangered animal protection sanctuaries also fall in love with these baby
lions straight away. To come to think of it, why do people get attracted to
these cute baby lions as far as the African big cats are concerned? Why not the
baby hyena, the cheetah cub, the African leopard or any other endangered forest
animal?
Many people will agree that all of the animals in the world, a baby
lion is do doubt a beautiful but at the same time; all wild animal babies are
beautiful in a special way.
How easy is it to take a cute lion cub picture?
Well very easy as you can say. Go
to the nearest lions zoo, talk to the zoo officials and if they happen to have
a lion which has given birth recently they might allow you to take a picture or
to or even make a video about the baby lions as well. That sounds easy and well
said end easily done with no hustles of booking for a lion safari in the
beautiful dangerous lion country, traveling across the most dangerous forest in
the world Strawn with the African big cats and heavily infested with the African
big five along the African savannah,
Searching the perfect lion national park
or animal reserves which has the biggest number of lions so as to make your
chances even bigger in finding at least a lion which has given birth. I guess
that sounds like a big hustle only for the sake of a beautiful amazing baby
lion picture.
People say in this life, if the cute baby lion picture is worth
it, there is no hustle at all going that extra mile in achieving it. Jokes
aside it’s not easy to get that perfect short of a cute lion picture unless you
have the right camera, the distance from where you are the where the lion cub
has to be well lit to get the entire lion cub’s face and the moment just has to
be right. You being at the right natural animal habitat and at the right time
and the same should apply to the endangered lion cub as well.
Guess what I
wonder where the beautiful dangerous lion and lioness would be while you have
the time to do all that.
For the
very few who have managed to concur the art of beautiful amazing wild animal
photography which is an art of its own with pain staking moments for many of us
to appreciate these beautiful wild animals learn about them and at the same
time appreciate them as they are part of this world as we are part of them as
well. With many wild animal organization
which cater for the plight of endangered animals, its such good lion cubs
photographs and lion cubs videos which have moved people to help in many
conservation and protection of these endangered little lions in Africa and Asia.
These are the places where many of the lions are vulnerable and have become endangered due to
poaching, loss of habitat and feeding grounds and to some extent as animal
trophies.
For
those who have managed to see these cute little baby lions in the wild, they know
exactly what it takes to be the king of the of all animals, the most feared
predator in the world and above all one of the most beautiful animals in the
world.
Baby
lions in the wild like any other wild animal babies as soon as they are able to
venture out of their den in the presence of the beautiful dangerous lion and
lioness, you find that these baby lions or lion cubs are always full of energy
which last for only a short time. Playing with the lion’s big mane and its long
tail swishing back and forth trying to tear it apart with tinny baby lion’s
teeth which are not sharp enough makes them give up only to come back when they
are fully fed after the pride has made a very successful hunt of the day.
Is it a
lion’s behavior to be adventurous and playful as these little lions in the wild
seem to have or is it just sheer animal
instincts which is being practiced and to become useful when these young lions
have grown up and are ready to start a family and make a lion pride of their
own as well? Many African animal safari tourists take this advantage of this
beautiful lion pride by taking breath taking animal pictures and beautiful lion
videos and are glad to have made such an achievement from the comfort of their
safari vehicle.
It's always a time when one is glad to have made one of the most beautiful lion safaris
in Kenya and to have captured the beautiful African wild life images as well.
The
lioness and feeding lions take care of the baby lions
Does
anyone really know when a lion is going to give birth when it is in the wild?
If the lion and lioness are in captivity, there are good chances when to
exactly expect the birth of the little cute lion cubs after carefully
calculating the date of the lion copulation. But
when these beautiful dangerous lions are in their natural habitat and breeding
grounds, the female lion or lioness is always as secretive as she can be as far
as giving birth is concerned and the safety of the newly lion cubs as well.
Getting a glimpse of these cute cubs is always difficult and very few people
who have spent days and nights in the dark carefully observing the lioness
being on heat, watching the lioness looking for the perfect cave, bush or den
where she can safely deliver her offspring and as a result you get the
privilege to see the lioness animal instincts kicking in carrying its delicate
little cubs to a different spot fearing any predators might come and attack the
cubs and also to be in harms was as well.
Do people really know what happens in the lion’s den?
With this new age of
technology, my good guess about lion cubs while they are in the safety and care
of the lioness and deep well hidden from other intruders and dangerous
predators is that there is not always much to do. Since the lion cubs are
always blind for the first few days when they are born, there is always a lot
of lion behavior of sleeping and a lot of lion grooming and cleaning day in and
day out. This is always followed by a lot of lion feeding time for as long as
the lion’s stomach is empty.
The rest of the day as far as the lion cubs are
concerned, once again the animal instincts which has been passed on from
generation to generation starts to be evident. The lion rivalry starts as the
lion cubs starts fighting for the mothers tits which produce a lot of milk.
So
when you see two brothers or sisters fighting with no apparent reason, just
remember we are all wild animals but only with some superior intelligence and
due to the fact that with the multiplicity of the elements in the modern world
and in the wild, war within animals is always endemic. Basically
when the lioness is ready to give birth
its not like the wildebeest which gives birth on the way on its
migration rout from the beautiful Serengeti plains to the Maasai Mara with one
of the worlds deadliest
Nile crocodile rivers to cross,
Neither like the
African elephant which is born and ready to catch-up with the elephant train to
nearest or distant water hole and fresh grass nor like the tallest giraffe where you are born and plunge
from a height of almost six feet on your first seconds of birth and expected to
be alive.
The lioness always scouts the lion’s pride feeding and breeding
ground so as to make sure that no intruders are present or will be present by
the time she gives birth.
Giving
birth for the female lion in the wild generally takes place within three and a
half months after conception and the time of year for the lion to give birth
does not depend whether there’s a full moon or whether its raining cats and
dogs.
With deafening thunder and blinding lighting in the African jungles as if
the African gods have said let it rain nor does it depend whether it’s the dry
spell in the African grassland and every stalk of grass you can find has turn
golden.
Come
rain come sunshine the female lion or lioness with all luck on her side will
give birth to around four cute little lion and lionesses to be. Spending as
much time with the new born cubs becomes the order of the day.
Despite the fact
that in dangerous or hostile environment in the wild, the beautiful dangerous
lioness might as well stay with her cubs without going to hunt or go hungry for
almost four days so long as she had fed properly during the days which had gone
by. If the prevailing weather conditions are harsh and there is a scarcity for
animals for the female lion to hunt, the natural survival animal instincts for
the lioness becomes her first priority.
With around four little lion cubs to
feed and with less milk to feed them the lioness might sometimes opt to leave
her cubs and maybe just carry one of the healthy cubs along with her to a
different feeding and breading ground where she thinks she might as well
survive or there are other animal which she can hunt and at least manage to
survive.
What is
the difference in terms of young male and female lions in captivity and the
young male and female lion in the wild as far as giving birth for the lion is
concerned?
Is there really a difference or it just doesn’t matter a thing
because these are just wild animals and whether these beautiful endangered
animals give birth or not it doesn’t have anything to do with you? Just
remember we are living in a vicious cycle with a complicated food chain and
dynamic pyramids of food chain which are still in its hay stages yet to be
fully understood for all those who have little concepts about the dynamics of
life and the essence of animal rights as well.
So whether it’s the birth of the
endangered forest animals such as the slow sloth in the deep forest of Puerto
Rico, the endeared silverback gorillas in the tropical rain forest of Congo or
the endangered big cats such as the beautiful dangerous clouded leopard species
on the beautiful iced caped mountains of Hunza in the Northern areas of
Pakistan, we are all connected. This is because if there were no lions or the
population of lions in the world and in the wild went to zero what do you think
would happen?
If you are living in the city you might not even notice a thing
in the beginning but mind you if you don’t read the papers it the news of the
absence of these beautiful dangerous animals will just hit you like a rocket.
Take for example where in the world do you have the biggest number of wild
animals? Well I guess even a child of grade 2 might answerer that with
enthusiasm with a quick answer: Africa. When
and where in the world would you find half a million wild animals roaming
freely across national boundaries? Well what might your guess be?
Why all these questions while the topic at
hand is about lion cubs, baby lion, young male and female lions, lion babies
and anything to do with lions and lionesses. Think again.
The young male lions
his is where the lions and specially the birth of a lion come in. if all the
wildebeest were to be stopped from migrating back to their natural habitat and
breeding grounds, the wildebeest population would increase tremendously within
a blink of an eye. The different wild animals which are native to their natural
habitat would quickly be outnumbered. These beautiful dangerous migrating
animals will keep on chewing all the natural vegetation they can find.
When
that is also completed, protected forest and farms which are used to grow cash
crops would also be grazed to the ground and as time goes by the land carrying
capacity would not be able to sustain the unexpected of the number of animals
given the fact that these animals depend on the availability of grass which is
also connected on the weather conditions and mostly the long rains.
With
the soil bare and not having any undergrowth, the top rich soil will be washed
away and the ensuing years will defiantly be followed by a drought only to see
millions of beautiful animals dying of starvation as a result of over grazing
from the new animal intruders which had been denied their rights to migrate
back to their breeding and feeding grounds.
While this is not a cause for many
to smile thinking that lions would be pleased to have such a flow of readily
available animals to hunt even if they are blind folded, now imagine no lions
in the jungle.
The hyenas would rule the world but only for a short time and
the same story would just come back as it was.
So the
next time you see an animal giving birth or you hear an animal has given birth,
be fruitful and try to share what you know to others about these endangered
lions in Africa-Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa,
Botswana, Namibia as this brings awareness about these little cute endangered
animals which need to be protected hence conservation, reproduction and
protection of these animals is of importance for the future generation.
It is a
clear fact that whether lions are in captivity or are in the wild, the number
of cubs a lioness manages to give birth to is around two to three. In the wild
the lioness uses its wits to hide here as much as possible and the only way to
know that a lioness has given birth is by the vivid large bright large stains
around the nipple of the lioness. So the next time someone asks you if they
have ever seen a lion which has given birth, be sure to tell them to help adopt
a lion and help save these dangerous animals before they become extinct.
As the
days go by in the African jungles, the lioness cuddling her cubs will only dash
for short intervals to feast along with the pride what the lion’s food for the
day was and might as well take the lion’s share.
When it
comes to taking care of these babies of beautiful dangerous animals, the
lioness or the female lion just like any nursing mother has to do all the
cleaning of the lion cubs, training of the baby lions which will be ongoing for
as long as the young lions are old enough waiting to be chased and to go and
make their own pride and make their own territory and be able to defend it prom
intruders. Depending on the place where the lioness has given birth, the
lioness will be on a constant movement with her cubs for their own protection
and from the pride as well before they are fully introduced to the dominant
male of the lion pride r the head of the lion pride. During these shuttling of
the lion cubs and their mother holding the lion babies by the neck is such a
spectacular moment.
One
would feel that the lioness is actually hurting the baby lions but in real
sense it’s just as holding a sloth from its back or holding a rabbit from its
ears. Do you think that hurts? Don’t be scared and don’t feel that it hurts the
lion cubs. As one of natures wonder of the world many animals and specially
from the cat family uses this technique to hold their young ones and there are
no known moments when these little tiny lion cubs have roared with anger to
detest the inhumane activities done just above their nose by their sweet
mother.
The
female lion at this period is always regarded as one of the fierce lions in the lion pride. Just like any
female big cats, these feeding lions are always very careful how they interact
with the rest of the lion pride. As the cute endangered baby animals keep on
growing and increasing weight, these feeding babies will keep on becoming more
and more adventurous as they keep on exploring the endangered habitats as the female lion roaring to and from the
lions den begin to take a tall of the cute lions screaming for more food or
more milk
With
little protection or no protection, these cute baby lion cubs will always try
to fight any small intruders and try to hunt any flying and crawling insect
they can see in their den. So if female
lion returns to the den and does not see the baby lions sleeping the she will
always the baby lions playing and she
will try as much as possible to find out if the cubs have wondered far away and
have different scents which they might have acquired while they are out there.
Grooming and cleaning will be the first priority as the cute lions start
fighting for their food even before the lioness settles down.
And
when the right time comes along, the female lion and cubs will have a chance to
meet or to be introduced to the pride. With no huge celebrations of the female
lion screaming or the male lion roaring after about six weeks is what it takes
for the beautiful dangerous lion cubs to be introduced to the clan. Did you
know that in every lion pride there is only one dominant lion? So if the head
of the pride finds that the cute little cubs are not part of his linage, the
dominant lion is capable of killing these baby lions at once.
There are very
rare occasions where fighting of lions takes place as the lioness always
doesn’t have a better chance in case there was to be a real fight between the
lion and the lioness as the lioness tries to protect her cubs. Unlike mothers
who would do whatever it takes to protect their babies from their aggressive
fathers, the female lion will
always stand way back to let the head of the
pride have a moment with the new lion cubs and if the dominant male lion is
satisfied them peace will just prevail for the next generation in the African
savanna ecosystem.
How many lions are in Africa?
With almost all lions on the bring of being extinct, the number of lions in the
wild is making a comeback due to the different efforts of lion conservation,
lion protection and reproduction worldwide.
Feeding
baby lions in captivity depends on the quality and quantity of food or milk
that is provided by the wildlife animal sanctuary that is taking care of these
lions. It might be in the lion zoo, an animal orphanage or just a protected
area where someone has either adopted these endangered baby animals and is
rearing them in captivity.
The
feeding lion cubs continue to be weaned mostly in their den for as long as they
are healthy and when the small dangerous lion teeth start to develop, the
feeding lions are slowly started to take part in the lion’s share as well.
Because all lions are carnivorous, these endangered mammals will start to see
face to face the female lions fighting or the dominant lion roaring when it is
time for eating after the female lion which mostly do the hunting come back
with the catch of the day.
Slowly by
slowly the baby lions continue to get accustomed to the smell of blood beef
from hence forth starts to become the main food for the lion cubs or the young
lion’s diet. With the female lion still able to produce milk, the baby lions
will always rush to their mother whenever they feel thirsty or whenever they
feel hungry.
If it takes almost three years for human
beings to stop feeding their babies with breast milk, as far s lions in the
wild are concerned, the rules of the jungle are the ones which determine when
these female lions can stop their cubs from getting closer to her to try and
get some milk whether its feeding time for the baby lions or there is no food
and the lion cubs keep on displaying their hunger by licking the mothers mouth
or going for the tits.
Guess
what if you think that milk is considered as the perfect food for the baby
which is a fact about all feeding babies, as far as the lioness is concerned,
she will only feed the lions with milk for a period of around 7 months.
If this
is a short time for such animal to stop such an animal feeding practice I
wonder what happens with the animals in captivity when it comes to feeding lion
cubs. By the way what kind of milk to baby lions like while they are in
captivity? Do baby lions like cow milk, pasteurized milk or powder milk? For
those who like to drink milk, I know for sure there is a difference between cow
milk, goad milk and camel milk as well. Depending on the geographical location
you are coming from and the way you have been brought up, I am sure you agree
that one’s man meat is another man’s poison.
As far as the lion fact about milk
is concerned, milk is one of the best natural food any mammal can feed on. If
human beings have been known to have been saved by drinking milk from wild
animals, how about all the cutting edge technology which has now been put
forward in managing to help feed the masses in this beautiful world of ours.
All over the world, while baby animals have been left orphans, milk is the most
important food which is given depending on the right nutritional value which is
always determines by the qualified trained animal handlers, veterinaries or
animal doctors. In the elephant orphanage in Nairobi, elephants as big as three
years are fed on gallons of milk which they quench within minutes, the same
goes with the famous giraffe center in the heart the city as well as part of
conservation and protection of these endangered species in Kenya and the rest
of the world as well.
Coming
back to our beautiful young lions which are now increasing weight and the
female and male lions in the pride have become their daily companies, the bond
between the lion cubs continue to be strengthened by a lot of grooming and
teasing as well. The lion cubs start to pick up what the female and male lion
are doing and try to imitate them. These could be for example a lion chasing
prey, a lion catching prey or a female lion roaring at male lion.
While these
are some of the skills which a lion uses to hunt and survive in the wilderness,
the lion and the lionesses in the lion pride will keep on to be the best
teachers for the lion cubs for as long as the roam their natural habitat,
feeding and breeding grounds which at the moment is dwindling the world over
specially in Africa and in East Africa where you have the largest number of
lions in the world.
Lions
are very social animals and you know what in many of the lion prides, most
lions almost give birth at the same time. Is this good for the lion’s pride or
not? Well with a large number of lions
in the pride comes a lot of fighting
lions as well. How about the lion cubs? To some extent, the baby lions somehow
have managed to have an advantage of this situation. You find that when the
female lions go hunting, the remaining feeding or nursing lions sometimes allow
cubs which are born by a different female lion in the pride to come and feed
when the baby lion is hungry. Since female lions know their cubs, its always
not easy for them to refuse the cubs from different female lions so long as
it’s the same lion which is the father of the cubs being fed. This always saves
the cubs from starving while the female lions go hunting which sometimes takes
hours before the lionesses hunt a zebra, a giraffe or a buffalo which is big
enough for the lion pride.
By the
time the lion cubs are almost two years; this is when you find some of the most
mischievous animals in the world.
Just as
you see a lion stalking prey, the baby lions will keep on practicing their lion
hunts against each other. The cute lion cubs will play with the dominant male
lion without any invitation and at his best moment when the lion is sleeping,
the cubs will bite the lion’s tail, bite the lion’s ears, and bite the lion’s
mane bite the lions and play with the lions paws as well.
They will dare to
chase the African vulture when it comes to nimble dry African buffalo’s skull
with zero of soaring into the sky. At
the same time, the male lion will be scratched, the lion babies will fight over
the old two horned endangered white rhino bones and the few acacia trees will
be scaled, scratched and peed on as well which is one of the most
characteristics of the baby lion’s behavior.
When
you talk about animals climbing trees, leopards and the most efficient tree
climbers among all big cats in Africa and Asia.
But what have lions to do with tree climbing? It’s a fact that lions don’t hide
their food on trees. Lions don’t always sleep on trees. Lions are not very good
tree climbers. Is it because lions are very heavy? By the way how big is a lion
as compared to an African leopard? These two most dangerous big cats of Africa have a record of climbing trees.
If I may ask,
have you ever seen a lion resting on top of a tree? Some lion species in many
parts of Africa have been known to be climbing
trees. For the few privileged that have traveled in different parts of Africa might have seen these endangered lions resting on
trees.
These
lions sleep on trees most of the time and these lions which climb trees have
adapted to most of the prevailing conditions for their protection and taking
advantage of these trees to be able to spot their prey from far and away from
the scotching heat within the lion’s habitat. So when you see a lion cub
scratching that acacia or thorn tree just remember its just one of those big
cats family animal instincts or lion behavior which drives it to try to climb
that tree only to be stuck at the top and to be afraid of not knowing how to
get down only to be helped down by the mother lion.
Africa has
some of the greatest, the biggest and the most beautiful flora and fauna in the
world. As far as animal facts about dangerous animals or the most dangerous
animals of Africa are concerned, Africa in
fact has nine of the most dangerous animals in the world. Does the little lion
cub really know what it is to grow up in the African continent with some of the
most dangerous mammals living within the lion’s pride?
In fact, Africa has some
of the most dangerous scorpions in the world, the most dangerous hippopotamus
in the world, the most dangerous mosquitoes in the world and the most dangerous
elephant in the world, some of the most dangerous scorpion in the world and
some of the most dangerous shark in the world, some of the most dangerous
crocodile in the world and not only some of the most dangerous jellyfish in the
world but most of the most dangerous lion in the world as well.
With
all these beautiful amazing facts about the most dangerous endangered animal species
in the world being part of the baby lion’s habitat, the survival chances
without the protection of the lioness, the female lions, and the head of the
pride and the rest of the lion pride, most baby lions don’t even grow up to
maturity.
As inquisitive and as mischievous like any
baby animals in the wild which has to explore every inch of its territory,
these lion cubs become victims or fall prey from other dangerous mammals
roaming around the lion’s pride as well. With little knowledge that a baby lion
is not supposed to tease or bite each and every crawling animal or insects,
dangerous and venomous snakes attack these lion cubs, hyenas, jackals and wild
dogs always don’t hesitate to eat lion cubs.
Whenever they get a chance and the
beautiful dangerous Africa elephant and the African hippopotamus will not
hesitate to trample over any lion cubs as they know they are great enemies. If
the African elephant is known to be attacked by the dangerous Nile crocodile,
how about a baby lion who goes out alone in search of water in the crocodile
infested waters? For those lion cubs which survive these early stages of life
have yet other bigger lessons to learn in order to survive in the wilderness as
dangerous lions in the wild as well.
Remember
it’s a fact that the lion’s predators are not the different wild animals found
in the African jungles or the African grass lands alone but the bigger female
lion cubs and the stronger male lions as well.
This is because right after
birth, baby lions always want to show dominance and unless the lioness keeps a
check on it, some of the lion cubs become malnourished as they are not able to
get the lions share while they are still young as well.
Do lions eat lions?
Is there such a thing that a lion can eat another lion? I
guess not. Why then do male lions kill cubs? Its all there on video. There are
some amazing good video documentaries about lions killing cubs. Its true that
dominant male lions will only want to see his generation flourish in the pride.
The natural animal selection and survival for the fittest only exhibits itself
by bringing the female lions quickly back to heat so tat the dominant lion can
have cubs from his bloodline.
If you ever find male lions fighting for
territory or for dominance in any lion’s pride or in any habitat, a male lion
will kill all the baby lions, fight with the female lionesses and the bigger
lions within the lion pride and might even go further by eating the lion cubs
after killing them.
While some of the baby lions might have a chance to escape
and not return to the pride, these little lions once again become very
vulnerable to other lion predators once again. If you think lions are the most
beautiful animals in the world then think again.
But if you think lions are the
most dangerous animals in the world then you might just be part of the group
which agrees that these big cats of Africa despite the fact that some of them
have been tamed, there is till a lot about lions which we human beings just
don’t understand yet. If a tamed lion can be trained to take part or act in a
circus, why do these tamed African lions turn to their trainers, zoo keepers
and owners and attack them?
How about a lion kissing a human being or a lion
hugging a human being? These are just some of the wonders which lion cubs keep
on fascinating people as they grow up until people or get that this was once
that cute amazing little baby lion we used to pet or take beautiful pictures.
Back in
the wild where the lion cubs are almost grown to be young male lions and the
young female lions if they keep on surviving the dangerous wild life conditions
which keep on coming from every yard of the forest.
The lion cubs or young male
lions now face one of the biggest challenges in their life as far as the young
male lion is concerned. Every young lion which is almost grown up and wants to
show dominance over the young male lions and the young female lions is always
chased away and not to join the pride but is given a one way ticket to start
his own territory and be able to protect the lion’s pride as well.
The young
male lion with little experience in hunting prey in the wilderness, many young
male lions don’t make it in the wild. Do you know why lions are very good
hunters? It’s because of the greater number of lions in the pride. Normally
when lions are hunting, they normally choose one animal to attack, some young
male lions move to the flunks while some adult male lion chase the animal being
hunted.
Despite the fact that not many lion hunts are successful if it is only
one lion hunting a big prey as the zebra the African Cape
buffalo or the giraffe, it’s the large number of lions which can be able to
successfully bring down a big animal. So these poor lone lions always have to
hunt day and night in order to survive and end up hunting other animals such as
rabbits, wild pigs and other small baby animals as well.
As the young male lion or adult male lion gets older the lion’s hunting skills keep on improving and
will exactly know how lions hunt as it has been with his fore fathers who once
ruled and tamed the African wilderness as the young male lion still keeps
building its strength instead of being a scavenger lion with no pride.
