What animal do you most associate with the zoo? We’re willing to bet that a lion is definitely in the top ten! These creatures are popular for their beautiful manes, elegant appearance, and frightening roars. In the wilderness, they are considered social animals who roam the land in packs. Once, there was even a pride made up of 40 lions overall!
Just about everyone will bow down to the alpha male of the pride, though it is actually the females who hunt and protect the young. They are strong and vicious creatures willing to do anything to take care of their pride.
Now, we want you to imagine what happens when a tiny dachshund puppy finds itself in a lion’s enclosure. We bet you’re worried. A poor little dog like that doesn’t stand a chance, right?
King of the Wild
The lion has earned a reputation as the king of the wild, a status earned through strength, power, elegance, and mighty roars. However, people get a different look at these fierce creatures when they are in captivity. Under this setting, we can see that lions share many similarities with a distant relative – the house cat. Perhaps they are not as terrifying as we all assumed!
