Stunning and majestic, the lion is one of the most admired animals in the world. Yet even this well-known animal harbors a few secrets. For example, few people know that a lion’s roar can be heard up to five miles away, or that males do not reach sexual maturity until they are 5 years old. The lion is also the most social member of the cat family, and members of the pride cooperate to protect their kills from vultures and hyenas. That is a big job, because each adult male requires about 15 pounds of meat a day, while females (who do most of the hunting) need only 11.
The lion in this jigsaw puzzle, with his kid brother, were photographed at the zoo of Zürich, Switzerland.
