African Lions are the most social of all big cats and live together in “prides.”
A Lion’s roar is the loudest of any big cat and can be heard up to 5 miles (8 km) away. A tiger’s roar can be heard for roughly 2 miles (3 km).
Of the big cats , only the tiger, lion, leopard, and jaguar can roar.
Lions are the second largest of the big cats, after the Tiger.
Lions are also good swimmers, as are the Tigers.
