Schleich Wild Life Animal Figurine 14726 - Lion, Roaring

The larger a lion's mane, the more intimidating it looks to intruders who dare enter the territory he defends. Lions are the only big cats that hunt together as a pride — a job usually handled by the lionesses. They aren't fast like cheetahs, so they rely on teamwork instead: stalking in from different directions, encircling their prey and striking by surprise. That approach lets them take down large hoofed animals such as zebra and wildebeest, and even buffalo.

Lions are also the only big cats whose males grow a mane, which makes them easy to tell apart from the females.
