Even in the heat of the day. They willcertainly arise and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animalhas made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dead animal for themselves. A grown lion caneasily consume 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often, they eat until it seems painful forthem to lie down. The female lions are leaner and swifter, and as a result, are better huntersthan the males. Most kills are made at night or just before dawn. The kill is the most excitingmoment in the day-to-day existence of the lion, since these great beasts spend most of theirtime - about 20 hours a day - sleeping and resting. Lions are also social cats. And during thesetimes of leisure, they love to romp against each other, and the young lions are always playingamong themselves and with their parents.
