Summary

Description
Français : e lion est le deuxième plus grand félidé, après le tigre, et ainsi le plus grand carnivore d'Afrique. Un mâle mesure de 172 à 250 centimètres de long2 du bout du museau à la base de la queue et possède une queue d’en moyenne 90 centimètres3. Les mâles atteignent une masse comprise entre 145 et 225 kilogrammes à l'âge adulte3. Les femelles adultes mesurent de 158 à 192 centimètres2 sans la queue et possède une queue mesurant environ 85 cm. Elles pèsent entre 83 et 168 kg3 et ont une corpulence en moyenne 20 à 50 % moins importante que celle d'un mâle4.

Le lion est un animal grégaire, c'est-à-dire qu'il vit en larges groupes familiaux, contrairement aux autres félins. Son espérance de vie, à l'état sauvage, est comprise entre 7 et 12 ans pour le mâle et 14 à 20 ans pour la femelle, mais il dépasse fréquemment les 30 ans en captivité.

Le lion mâle ne chasse qu'occasionnellement, il est chargé de combattre les intrusions sur le territoire et les menaces contre la troupe. Le lion rugit. Il n'existe plus à l'état sauvage que 16 500 à 30 000 individus dans la savane africaine, répartis en une dizaine de sous-espèces et environ 300 au parc national de Gir Forest dans le nord-ouest de l'Inde. Il est surnommé « le roi des animaux » car sa crinière lui donne un aspect semblable au Soleil, qui apparaît comme « le roi des astres ». Entre 1993 et 2017, leur population a baissé de 43 %1.

La taille au garrot peut varier de 100–128 cm2 (en moyenne, 123 cm pour les mâles et 107 cm pour les femelles3). Les plus grands mâles pouvant exceptionnellement atteindre une taille à l'épaule de 1,50 m5.[réf. nécessaire] Ils peuvent ainsi avoir une taille à l'épaule de 30 cm plus importante que celle des tigres mais sont moins longs que ces derniers. cette image de lionceau a eté prise dans le parc Pendjari
English: The lion is the second largest cat, after the tiger, and thus the largest carnivore in Africa. A male is 172 to 250 centimeters long2 from the tip of the muzzle to the base of the tail and has a tail averaging 90 centimeters3. Males reach between 145 and 225 kilograms as adults3. Adult females measure 158 to 192 cm 2 without the tail and have a tail measuring approximately 85 cm. They weigh between 83 and 168 kg3 and have an average corpulence of 20 to 50% less than that of a male4.

The lion is a gregarious animal, that is to say that it lives in large family groups, unlike other felines. Its life expectancy, in the wild, is between 7 and 12 years for the male and 14 to 20 years for the female, but it often exceeds 30 years in captivity.

The male lion only occasionally hunts, he is responsible for fighting intrusions on the territory and threats against the troop. The lion roars. There are no more than 16,500 to 30,000 wild relatives in the African savannah, distributed in about ten subspecies and about 300 in the Gir Forest National Park in northwestern India. He is nicknamed "the king of animals" because his mane gives him an appearance similar to the Sun, which appears as "the king of the stars". Between 1993 and 2017, their population decreased by 43% 1.

The size at the withers may vary from 100-128 cm2 (on average, 123 cm for males and 107 cm for females3). The largest males can exceptionally reach a shoulder height of 1.50 m5. necessary] They can have a shoulder height of 30 cm larger than that of tigers but are shorter than the latter. this lion cub image was taken in Pendjari Park
