Lions, Leopards and Cheetah's can be differentiated from their companions by counting the number of whiskers each one has and the pattern in which they are arranged.
The tail of a Lioness has a white spot, this helps in giving bearings to its Cubs when the pride is walking through the tall brown grass of the African Savannah. The tail of a Lion is approximately half the length of its head and body.
Lionesses start to breed from the age of 3 years and can live up to 20 years.
Lions have very few sweat glands, they lose heat through a process called evaporative cooling; which is panting rapidly.
A fully grown Lion can weigh up to 240 kilograms. Generally, they have a shorter lifespan than lionesses, living up to 12 years.
