The African lion belongs to the category of predators. The African lion is known as the King of animals. The African lion acquired this name thanks to its phenomenal hunting skills.
The African lion’s habitat consists of forests, savannas, and grass plains in Africa. They are found mainly in Central Africa and East Africa.
More and more African lions are disappearing in the wild. Research shows that from 90% of the African areas where they occurred in the past have disappeared in the past 120 years. Therefore, it is important that we protect the African Lion.
Lionesses have no mane. Because of this, you can clearly see the difference. This species weighs from 120 to 275 kilograms.
In the wild, lionesses stay with the same group throughout their lives. A lioness goes hunting alone or together in a group. As a result, she provides a larger share of the hunt than a male lion. The size of the prey depends on the size of the hunting group. When a group of lionesses hunt together, they primarily hunt antelope, zebra and other large herbivores.
The African Lions in Mondo Verde are not albinos. Albino lions have no pigment at all and pink/red eyes. The lions in Mondo Verde are missing a certain gene, resulting in a very light brown coat.
In the wild, these lions experience a disadvantage in terms of hunting their prey. Hunters also target them because of the fur. Because of this, white lions are believed to no longer live in wildlife.
By adopting an animal symbolically, you give the animal something extra and something special. The money of your donation pays for enrichment elements, feeding costs, maintenance of the enclosure and any veterinary expenses. Of course, depending on the amount, you will also receive some benefits.
