African Lioness - a toothy grin - a photo on Flickriver

African Lioness -
One of the four lion cubs of Oshana and Izu, born on
June 22,,2014 at Lion Camp. There is one male and three females named: Ernest, Evelyn, Marion and Miss Ellen.

An African lion’s life is all about napping, and resting with short bursts of intense activity, play, clawing at trees, followed by more sleeping that can total up to 21 hours a day! Lions are primarily nocturnal, although seem to be most active at twilight.

The African lion is the only large cat that is social. Lions live in groups which are called prides. All of a pride’s lionesses are related. At Lion camp, the Male is Izu. the two females are Oshana and Mina, and they are sisters.

Lions are the only members of the cat family to display obvious sexual dimorphism – that is, males and females look distinctly different. They also have specialized roles that each gender plays in the pride. For instance, the lioness, is the hunter, while the male Lion stands guard patrolling their territory to defend it from intruders.

Africa's lions are considered to be threatened by their environment because of habitat loss, loss of prey and increased human-lion conflicts, according to The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Hope you enjoyed my pics!
