Many people's impression of the living environment of lions comes from the animated movie "The Lion King": in the endless grasslands, a lion crouching on top of a huge rock, overlooking millions of "subjects".

In fact, lions live in a variety of environments, including grasslands, forests, swamps, bushes, the Gobi, hills, and even deserts.

Different living environment, casting the lion different appearance and behavior. For example, lions in the grasslands are larger and have denser manes, while lions in the jungle are smaller and have less dense manes.

Lions living in the grasslands sleep more than 20 hours a day. For the vast majority of the time, they are huffing and puffing. Hunting only during the night time, the peak hunting time is from 2:00 am to 4:00 am.
