Additional Information

Living in the grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa, the lion is the second largest cat in the world. Unlike other cats, lions are very social animals. They live in groups, called prides, of around 30 lions. A pride consists of up to three males, a dozen related females, and their young. The size of the pride is determined by the availability of food and water. If resources are scarce, the pride becomes smaller. Pride members keep track of one another by roaring.

Spending 16-20 hours of the day sleeping or resting, lions are the laziest of the big cats and this painting depicts just that, a lazy afternoon almost ready to doze before the sunsets and then onto a night hunt.
