Lion

African Lion (Panthera leo)

To make up for a long absence, I am doing a larger post about a very popular animal that can be found at most zoos. I don’t know why they are so popular, except that we are told to think so, from movies, TV, and books. Everytime I see them at the zoo they are usually sleeping. So this time was a nice surprise. The lions were actually awake and some were being active as seen in this video. It shows a lioness being very interested in several small children who were laughing and having fun…though I think the lion was more frustrated than anything else.

This was fun to watch and it was also nice because my sister, Elina, had come that day with Ruth and I. Here is Elina with that same lion. I was impressed at how large they really are.
