Nevertheless the African Lion numbered perhaps 200,000 individuals in the early 1990s.Typically the male stands four feet high and weighs 450 pounds, whilst the female is smaller at 350 pounds. Lions live in large family groups each pride consists of two males and seven females together with a variable number of cubs. The pride hunts by ambushing large prey; they prefer wildebeest but also eat buffalo,zebra,antelope and giraffe.
