This doesn’t always work with hyenas though, who also live in a family group called a clan. If there are more hyenas than lions, often they will get to hold on to their food. Even the biggest clan of hyenas is no match for a male lion though. The King of Jungle always wins!
Lions don’t normally drink a lot of water, but often make chose to live near rivers, streams and waterholes. This is not because they are thirsty, but because they know prey animals will come to drink sooner or later. They can lay patiently in wait until dinnertime. Areas with a lot of water often flood, so lions literally have to jump in at the deep end to catch their food. Because swimming is such good exercise, these lions are often very large and muscly, just like Olympic swimmers!
