The lion is native to Africa and inhabits grasslands, savannas and shrublands. The most social of all the big wild cats, lions live in "prides", which are groups that consist of related individuals with their offspring. Lions spend much of their time resting and are inactive for about twenty hours per day. Although they can be active at any time, their activity generally peaks after dusk with a period of socialising, grooming and defecating. Intermittent bursts of activity continue until dawn, when hunting most often takes place. They spend an average of two hours a day walking and fifty minutes eating.
