Lions are the most social member of the big cats and are the only ones to live and hunt in family groups

Lions can run at 58 km/h which is too slow to catch antelope in an open chase

Attacks are seldom launched from more than 20 m away, mainly by stalking or ambush

Pride males do not usually hunt, as their manes and large size make them more conspicuous and less succesful than lionesses. however they do help with big game kills

To view a kill you have to be extremely lucky. The majority shown on TV are staged

People nurtured on wild-life TV programmes tend to assume that every dead animal has been killed by a predator, but this is not always the case. Animals sometimes die of old age, while fighting with their own species or just as a result of accidents
