Male African lion
Male African lion (Panthera leo). Male lions are the only cats to have manes. Lions are sociable animals, living in prides consisting of one or two dominant males with several females and their offspring. Young males leave the pride around the age of two and a half years. The female members of the pride do the majority of the hunting, while the male spends most of his time relaxing in shady areas and forcibly takes a share of the food after the kill has been made. Lions are found in the savannah and scrubland of sub-Saharan Africa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal beauty of a male African lion (Panthera leo), the undisputed king of the beasts. With its majestic presence and awe-inspiring mane, this magnificent creature stands as a symbol of power and strength in the animal kingdom. Lions are known for their sociable nature, living in prides consisting of dominant males, several females, and their offspring. Young males eventually leave the pride to establish their own territories around two and a half years old. While female members take charge of hunting duties, these mighty males prefer to relax in shady areas until it's time to claim their share of the spoils. Found across sub-Saharan Africa's savannahs and scrublands, lions embody both grace and intimidation as they navigate through their natural habitat. Their carnivorous instincts make them formidable hunters within this ecosystem. Captured by Science Photo Library, this image captures not just an individual lion but also represents an entire species that has fascinated humans for centuries. The photograph serves as a reminder that our planet is home to extraordinary creatures like this African lion – showcasing its wild beauty while reminding us of our responsibility to protect such incredible wildlife from threats they face today.
