In fact Lions are well- muscled cats will long bodies, large head, and short legs. The male’s outstanding characteristics       his mane, which varies between different individuals and population. It may be entirely lacking ,it may fringe the face  ,or it may be full and shaggy, covering the back of the head, neck and shoulders and continuing onto the throat and chest to join a fringe along the belly. In some lions , the mane and fringe are very dark, almost black ,giving the cat a majestic appearance. Manes make males look larger and may serve to intimidate rivals or impress prospective mates, Lions are adapted to their habitats over time.  For example  the tan color of lion’s coat allows him to blend in with the desert and savannah and lions who live in the desert  tend to have smaller manes to keep them cool. However lions are not typically found in forests, as they prefer open areas with plenty of space to roam and hunt.

Like human, lion cubs are born without teeth. Cubs are extremely playful and spend most of their time playing each other

Even in  the lions  are considered as apex predators and have no natural predators in the wild , lions do have some natural enemies that they are sometimes afraid of in the wild. So those animals are wild dogs, cheetahs, leopards, baboons and large birds of prey such as eagles.

Lions are also known to be afraid of large herbivores such as elephants, rhinos, giraffes and hippos which much bigger and heavier  than lions.
