Lion

Lions live for around 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. In the wild, males seldom live longer than ten years, as injuries sustained from continuous fighting with rival males greatly reduces their longevity. The Lion is one of four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight.

Lions are powerful animals that usually hunt in coordinated groups and stalk their chosen prey. However, they are not particularly known for their stamina. lionesses can reach speeds of 81 km/h (50 mph)
The prey consists mainly of large mammals, with a preference for wildebeest, impalas, zebras, buffalo, and warthogs. Many other species are hunted, based on availability. Lions spend much of their time resting and are inactive for about 20 hours per day
