The lion is called the royal wild animal i.e. the king of the forest. But this animal is now on the endangered species list. Two species still survive - the African lion and the Asian lion.

Known to humans as a charismatic animal, this lion is extremely energetic, agile and extraordinarily beautiful.

That's why the use of this animal in branding and advertising of various products around the world is always noticeable.

Here are 9 facts about lions:

1. The roar of lions can be heard from five miles away
The roar of the lion is the loudest of all the cats. The roar is so intense that it can be 114 decibels and can be heard from five miles away.

The reason behind the roar of the lion is so intense because of the size of the larynx of this animal. The vocal cords of most animals are usually triangular. But the lion's vocal cords are quadrangular in shape. Also flatten it.

This is why they can easily establish much more control over the air.

This means a strong roar with little effort.

The age of the lion can be understood from the hair.
2. Male lions can eat more than 40 kg of meat a day
A study conducted on wildlife found that a female lion needs an average of five kilograms of meat a day and a male lion seven kilograms of meat to survive.

Studies have also shown that the amount of meat this animal eats in a day is eight to nine kilograms.

However, they can eat much more meat. It has been found that a lion can eat 25 kg of meat in a day and a lion can eat more than 40 kg of meat in one sitting.

3. Can run at 50 miles per hour
The lion is the second fastest animal in the wild to run at 50 miles per hour.

The heart weight of a lioness (which is mostly preyed upon by this animal) is only 0.56 percent of its body weight. As a result his mental strength or stamina is not the main issue here.

Rather the reason for this rapid speed is only for short distances. And that's why he has to start attacking from very close before jumping on any prey.

4. Age is known from hair
The easiest and most effective way to recognize a male lion is its mane. The darker the color, the older the animal.

This further indicates that the male lion secretes a lot of testosterone hormone. As a result, its power is also higher.

This is why black-haired male lions can attract large numbers of female lions.
