Black Mane Lion-COMING SUMMER 2011 
Habitat:   Africa and India
Size:   3 ft at shoulder
Weight:   330-500 Pounds
Food:   Carnivorous (mainly zebra)

Description:   
The lion (Panthera leo) is a mammal of the family Felidae and one of four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. The lion is the second largest naturally occuring member of the feline family, after the tiger. The male lion, easily recognized by his mane, weighs between 330-500 lb and females range 260-330. In the wild, lions live for around 10–14 years, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. While once found throughout much of Africa, Asia and Europe, it is presently encountered in the wild only in Africa and in India (where it is found only in the Sasan-Gir National Park).
