About the Lions: Lions are the second largest members of the cat family. They are the only cats that live in big family groups. Their primary habitat is green plains, savanna and forests. Male lions stay with a pride only as long as they are strong enough to defend their group from other males. A lion's roar can be heard up to 5 miles away. The life span of a lion in the wild is about 12-18 years. In captivity it is more like 20-30 years.

About the Cheetahs: The cheetah is the fastest land animal and it can reach a speed up to 120km/h for short distances. As compared to some other cats cheetah are active during the day rather than during the night. The cheetah is an endangered animal on its way to becoming extinct and there is only between 9000 and 12000 remaining within the wild. The female cheetah tends to be more solitary.
