Read the article below.

Lions have been called the kings of the animal world. These animals can be found wild in Africa and India. Lions in Africa can go without water for up to one month, so they have no trouble during dry times. 

Without question, lions are also one of the most popular animals to see in zoos. Almost every zoo around the world has a few lions. 

 It is very easy for people to tell male and female lions apart. Lions are the only kind of cat that shows this strong difference between males and females. A male lion has a mane, a large collar of hair around the lion’s face. Females do not have manes.     

 Male lions are also larger than females. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms1. 

 Both male and female lions have very strong mouths. They can break the backs of other animals with one bite. One lion will usually kill between ten and twenty large animals each year for food. 

It is unusual for lions to kill people. However, in 1998 two lions killed and ate over one hundred people in Kenya before they were shot by a British colonel named P.J. Patterson. This story became the subject of a 1996 Hollywood movie called The Ghost and the Darkness.
