The African lion
The lion can pass sleeping more than 18 hours a day. When we see them from time to time standing in the park, it’s better to go to bed a little further!
The females go hunting as a group and bring back the food. But of course it’s the male that will feed first.
The male does not take care of the young either. This is the job of lionesses who can also take care of other people’s cubs.
The lion takes care of defending its territory.

Young males remain in the group for about two to three years., until they have reached sexual maturity. They are then chased away by the dominant lion.
When a lion joins a group to become dominant in turn, it can kill the cubs that are already in place so that it is its offspring that dominates.

Lion food at animal park
dondon, the lionesseat 3.5 kilos of meat per day, and Tsavo, the male, 5 kilos per day.
The park is fortunate to operate with unsold items from supermarkets. But even if he collects meat, he is obliged to order next to it whole chickens, for example, or carcasses for the animals.
Dondon and Tsavo, the park lovers
The two lions of the animal park of Auvergne are very very in love. They are two old cuties who have lived together for a very long time. And they are really very close. So if you go to the park, you will often see them stuck togetheras if hugging each other.
