Lions are in danger of extinction across Africa. We want to help save the lions, and let African leaders know how important lions are to us, and kids everywhere. Today we each illustrated a picture of lions and how we would like for them to be taken care of. As a class, we will be writing a letter that we will be sending to Washington DC and we are so proud that we are able to make a contribution to help save lions.
Did You Know?
• An adult lion's roar can be heard up to five miles away.
• Unlike other cats, lions have a tuft of hair at the end of their tails.
• Lions are the only cats that live in groups, called prides. Generally, lions stay in groups of 50 or more.
• There used to be 450,000 lions in Africa 60 years ago, now there are probably as few as 20,000 remaining.
