In many prides, African lion males do not hunt. The reason for this is that their manes and large size make them more conspicuous and less successful in the hunts than lionesses.


What do lions eat?


We also look at facts about lion cubs, how they are raised by female lions in the wild, whether the fathers are involved in this process, and how they are trained to be hunters themselves.




Leopard


The leopard will stalk a target over distances of a few hundred meters or wait in ambush if the target moves towards it.

Herbivores only eat things that need sunlight and photosynthesis to live. They have physical features that help them eat tough-to-digest plant matter.
