Predator Conservation Trust: African Lion information : Panthera Leo

Whereas Leopard cubs usually suckle from the same teat every time they feed,
Lion cubs use any vacant teat and will happily feed from other females in the
pride (if the female lets them) as well as their mother.
SPOOR
Lion spoor - front and back paws.

HABITAT AND DENSITY
Lions were once found throughout sub-Sahara Africa and from North Africa through to Southwest Asia. Now Lions are found
mainly in protected areas in southern, central and east Africa with small populations in west Africa. Lions are now extinct in north Africa. The last
population of Asiatic Lions in the wild is isolated in the Gir National Park in Northwest India. There
are thought to be approximately 30,000 lions left in the
whole of Africa.
TEETH
A Lion's age can be estimated by examining its teeth. Lions have 30
teeth, including four large pointed teeth (the canines) which are used to
hold and kill its prey. While lions are able to bite through flesh and
reasonably large bones, they have no teeth suitable for chewing, so the lion
will swallow its food in chunks.
