            A female lion needs 5 kg of meat                           everyday, that’s heaps. A male needs 7kg or more food a day! A baby lion is called a cub, whelp or lionet which is cute. In the wild, lions live from 12 years up to16 years. They live up to 25 years in captivity. Which is quite young for us.

Soon the  again the wasp buzzed around him, but this time the man was wiser and said:
"You will only bald  yourself if you try to hurt those who annoy you."

The Lion and the Mouse





The Lion and the Mouse


Once when a Lion was asleep a little mouse ran up and sat on
top of him; this woke up the lion, who placed his huge paw on
the mouse, and opened his big jaws to eat him. "Please O King,
" begged the  mouse: "forgive me this time, I will  never forget
it: and who knows  I may be able to help you one of these days?" 
The lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to
help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go.
Some time after, the Lion was trapped in a net set by hunters.
Just then, the  little mouse happened to pass by, 
and saw the helpless trapped lion, and he went up to him and
  soon gnawed away the ropes that trapped the King of the
Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little mouse, “Little
friends can be great friends.”
