It has a muscular, broad-chested body; short, rounded head; round ears; and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is a social species, forming groups called ''prides''.

During the Neolithic period, the lion ranged throughout Africa and Eurasia from Southeast Europe to I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
