I think they have noticed the giraffe now
Our zookeeper has fastened the meat with a rope so they don't drag it too far away
If we look back 2000 years, lions were present all over europe
but 150 years ago the lions were restricted to the northern parts of europe and africa
Today there are only lions in central, south and western Africa
So the lions habitat has been restricted greatly over the past years
A pride usually consists of a lot of lionesses and a big lion that leads the pride
they live in the savannah, they can live in open areas as well as forest areas.
We saw they ran quite fast when they ran out here, and the can actually run up to 50-60 kph (31-37 mph) They need this to take down their prey
A lot of you when you come to this Zoo you'll see the lions resting in the hay
that could lead to thinking that our lions are especially lazy and tired but in nature the lion rests for 21 hours
As I said earlier the lion lives in a big pride with several lionesses and a male lion leading them
This is opposed to other cats like the tiger, that prefers to live alone. This makes the lion special.
