Did you know?
DID YOU KNOW? : : The rough round bumps you can feel on your tongue are called papillae. The tongue of a lion is covered in lots of spiky papillae which means they can lick the skin off of their prey and loosen the meat from the bones to make it easier to eat.
DID YOU KNOW? : : Lion claws have evolved to be retractable which means they can slide back and forth, and not cause harm when they are playing with each other.
DID YOU KNOW? : : Both male and female lions roar, and their roar can be heard over 5 miles (8kms) away!
