The Lions Kingdom – The Pride!

Still remember the Lion king Simba? Well this one surely doesn't look like Simba. >.>

Well, I myself is very fascinated by this animal. For me, lions are very great predators. Unlike other cats family like leopards or tigers, lions forms pack, called "Pride" and hunts down prey together.

Simba: "The Pride is on the prowl!"


On top of the hierarchy, it's the alpha male lion, usually the fittest of all the male lions in the pride. But when the pride goes on the hunt, lioness would lead it. (And I don't know why, maybe "Ladies first?") And the finishing blow would be executed by the alpha male when the prey is pinned down by the other lions.

Impressive coordination and teamwork, but yet the Pride often missed their meal due to limited stamina. Well this is because they're lack of exercising right? From what I see, lions sleep for 20 hours a day! They SHOULD REALLY do some workouts!



Cute lions cub.

Lion has an average lifespan of 16 years in the wild, which is way too little. *cries*
But if it's kept in the zoo, or a tamed (domesticated) one, their lifespan can reach up to 30 years.. Wow!

Well from my point of view, taming a lion is really brave thing to do. There is one stupid guy (not telling the name :]) I saw in the news. He has 5 lions (or more), and he's playing with them like we are playing with our pets. But actually from what I see, the lions are playing him (Haha!). The lions giant paws can almost tear of the owner's head even if the lion is just playing. Well, you can't deny the strength of the Beast!


Okay, that's all I would love to share with you about lions. I'll stop here and sign myself out! I don't wanna make my "article" too looooong, as in "it's getting boring here~". Haha, short and simple is what you and I need. ;)

P/S: This is some kind of an animal "not-full-database", but I hope you like it. :) And feel free to comment.

First start. Save the animals!

Few days ago, I was watching this, one documentary program. I didn't get the name but it was about the animal welfare. A city/town (not sure which city) is flooded and residents are evacuated to the safer place by the government. In the mean time, pets are also suffering from that flood. Government law doesn't allow pets to be carried along with their owner during evacuation (which is a MEAN law!). And when the storm is finally over, the city is covered by water, dirty water. Abandoned pets such as cats, dogs, turtles, and even parrots wouldn’t be able to survive under this filthy environment. Without food or fresh water, those pets would die.

After two weeks, workers and volunteers start the rescue for the pets. The place was awful. They manage to find and save as many as 15,000 pets. But that wasn’t even close to the number of demand by the owner of those abandoned pets, which were around 250,000.

And there is one dog (Its name is Blake), which was very dehydrated and its bone is appealed on the skin itself. When the rescuers found Blake, they gave it fresh water to drink and it gulps 3 gallants of water non-stop. That was a very cute thing to see, but I feels very sad at the same time.


Blake was found on the roof and was rescued by the team. You can see its bone through the skin.


Blake's owner came and retrieved it. Happy ending!


So, please love our pets, love the animals. Do those pets rely on us? No, sometimes, the owner rely even more on the pets do, more than they could imagine.

Edit: It was the Hurricane Katrina that causes the flood and the city is New Orleans.

P/S: This is my first post on the blog. So I just start off formally. It isn't much but it would be a good start for me. Hope you like it! :)
