African Lion. Lions are the only truly social cat species, living in groups called prides. Males have manes, but females rule the family. They live in the African savannah, woodlands, and desert.

Lions are famous for their sonorous roar but have other forms of communication as well, mostly used to mark territory. They spread their scent by rubbing their muzzle on tufts of grass or shrubs, and they rake the earth with their hind paws, as the paws have scent glands, too.

The lions at Zoo Atlanta may typically be seen year-round, except during the coldest or rainiest days, when they may choose to spend time in their indoor night areas. Range: Sub-Saharan Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), primarily in national parks and reserves of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem.
