* The Term "King of the Beast" is misleading because a lion will run from many creatures, including elephants and rhinoceros. * A group of Lions is called a "Pride" * A female Lion is called a "Lioness" * The hunting grounds for a pride of lions can range from 8 to 150 square miles. * The largest lion on record was almost 11 feet long and weighed nearly 700 pounds. * A lion's average life span is 13 years but a lion named "Nero" once lived to the ripe old age of 29 in a West German zoo. * Lions rarely eat an entire kill. Hyenas and vultures finish the rest.
