The lion is
the king of the forest. It is very brave and strong. It has long hair on its
neck. It is very fearful to look at. It is about four feet high and nearly six
to seven feet in length. It kills goats, sheep and cows with its sharp claws.
It is very fond of eating the deer’s meat. It crushed its prey with the help of
its strong jaws and very powerful teeth. It is one of the worst enemies of man.
But it attacks him only when it is hungry it is first attacked by him. It is
kept in the zoo for show. Its female is called the lioness, and she has no
mane. She is very fond of her cubs and loves to play with them. If they are
stolen, they live on milk and fruit instead of meat. Then they are trained to
show wonderful feats in circus shows. Their captivity and obedience to man are
enough to prove that he is the crown of all creation.
