The King of the Jungle is looking more like the Sun King here in the Serengeti. Check out more lion photos at Explore.org.
Here are a few Big Cat Facts you may not know:
1. A lion’s roar can be heard from as far as 5 miles away.
2. A lion’s heels don’t touch the ground when it walks.
3. A lion may sleep up to 20 hours a day.
4. Even though the lion is sometimes referred to as the “king of the jungle,” it actually only lives in grasslands and plains. The expression may have come from an incorrect association between Africa and jungles or may refer to a less literal meaning of the word jungle.
