Lion

Average speed: 50 mph

The so-called king of the jungle, the lion is one of the most powerful creatures in the jungle — but not the fastest. They live in groups called prides which is usually led by a large male, but the real hunters of the group are the females. Males can weigh more than 550lbs, making them the second largest living cat after the tiger. Lions feed on smaller creatures, like the Thomson's gazelle, but they can also take down larger animals like zebras and wildebeest. Wild lions can only be found in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and in small numbers in northwest India.
