Information About Lions Biography
source(google.com.pk)Basic lion facts:
Known as the only truly social cats, lions live a nomadic lifestyle in groups called prides, with a pack mentality that is usually led by the females.
Lions have golden yellow fur, and the adult male lions have shaggy manes that range in color from blond to reddish to black. The color appears to depend on a lions age, genetics and hormone levels.
Male lions grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) in length and usually weigh around 330 to 550 pounds (150 to 250 kilograms), while female lions are smaller, growing up to 9 feet (2.7 m) in length and weighing between 265 to 395 pounds (120 to 180 kg), according to the National Zoo. A lion's tail adds another 2 to 3 feet to their length (0.6 to 1 m). Adult lions stand about 3.5 to 4 feet high at their shoulders. (Asiatic lions are slightly smaller than African lions)
Lions' bodies are built for hunting: They are strong and compact, with strong forelimbs and jaws that help them bring down their prey.
Lions mostly eat large animals, such as zebra and wildebeest. They also steal from other predators such as hyenas and leopards. Females are the primary hunters in a pride.
Female lions mate about every two years, giving birth to one to six cubs after a three-and-half-month gestation period. About 60 to 70 percent of cubs die within the first year of their life. Females cooperate in raising a pride's cubs.
Need images for your company website or blog--but can't afford (or don't want to afford) to
pay for them?
Chelsea Blacker, head of Client Delivery at digital marketing agency BlueGlass UK, put
together the following list of websites that provide free images for commercial business
use (which means an image falls within Creative Commons (CC) or is royalty free. For more
on what those terms mean, check out the bottom of this post.)
Some sites supply exclusively Creative Commons or royalty-free images, while other sites
offer a mix of images, some free for commercial use, some are not. Always make sure you
understand the restrictions on a particular image before you use it.
Here's Chelsea's list:
General Free Image Websites
Wikimedia.org. With more than 17 million media files available and guaranteed Creative
Commons (CC), this is a great place to find quality images (though many strike me as non-
professional).
Flickr: With a wealth of images and a simple advanced search for CC images, Flickr is a go
-to for tapping into millions of images.
Morgue File: Some great images, but you must click on each image individually to determine
if it's available under Creative Commons. I found about one in seven images were CC, but
many of those were still not available for commercial use. (Morgue does offer HTML for
posting the image, though, which I found quite helpful.)
Unrestricted Stock: A mix of stock photos and vectors, this site is entirely free and
everything may be used for commercial purposes according to their license agreement. I
wouldn't say there are a ton of options on this site, but everything I have seen is of good
quality.
Microsoft Office: Yes, this is real: Microsoft giving something useful away for free on a
commercial level. The images are offered to anyone with Office.com or MS Office Web Apps:
"You may copy and use the media elements in projects and documents." But there are a few
rules, so check them out.
Pixabay: Tons of great images all free and in line with creative commons for commercial
use. I found their search function superior to other internal image search engines.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net: Only the small sizes of images are free. And keep in mind they
require attribution on all free images used (HTML code is offered too) and your email
address must be provided.
USA.gov: By far the most random site on this list, the U.S. government has provided a list
of sites with images on offer from the national archives to NASA. They warn not all images
on the sites are 100 percent public domain, so double check. However, I've sniffed around
about four sites and they are practically begging me to take the images.
StockPhotosFree.com: They say the images are "royalty free" and guarantee they can be used
for commercial purposes. Unfortunately, I'd argue the quality of these stock images are the
same as what I'd take on a holiday.
Foter.com: Great range of images (but searches for "coffee" brought up a surprising number
of images of young girls in suggestive positions/situations). You can search for CC images
specifically permitted for commercial use with the tick of a box.
FreeMediaGoo.com: Minimal selection, very few themes. I wouldn't use it, despite being
royalty free.
Deviant Art: This site is full of stunning images; the community creating and curating the
site enjoy fantasy, role play, Lord of the Rings, etc. The section of the site dedicated to
CC images is a bit difficult to navigate and they actually encourage you to use Google to
search it with the query string: "This work is licensed under Creative Commons."
FreeRangeStock: Royalty free images abound, about 50 percent quality to 50 percent novice.
They make you jump through hoops to download images while promoting their brand via your
social media accounts, so just scroll down the pop-up download window to ignore the cries
for promotion.
"Over the course of the next few days, we were able to gain new understanding and respect
for the lions we were photographing. We were always mindful that we didn’t want to harass
them or intrude on their lives. However, we came to appreciate that lions are incredibly
curious cats and full of the bravado that comes from being the Masai Mara’s top predator.
This resulted in plenty more raucous games with the youngsters and some wonderful
encounters with older individuals, who treated BeetleCam with nonchalant disdain,
deliberately ignoring it as it manoeuvred around them," says Burrard-Lucas.
It's a great way to show how a little high-tech tool can be a win-win situation for humans
and animals -- we can see some of the most incredible images of wild animals from ground-
level angles, and we can do so without disturbing the animals (or just giving them a
temporary toy...). It's a fantastic tool for conservation photographers who want to keep
space between themselves and their subjects.
