Introductory
Two thousand years ago, over a million lions roamed
throughout regions that covered Europe, Syria, Israel, Iran,
Iraq, Pakistan, and India. Today they live only in parts of
Africa and certain small parts of India. There are two species
of lions. They are the Panthero leo leo (African Lion), which
number around 20,000. The second species is the Panthero
leo persica (Asiatic Lion), which are only approximately 300
alive and protected parts of India.
Lions are one of the big five cats in the genus Panthera and
is a member of the family Felidae. The other four members
are the tiger, jaguar, leopard, and snow leopard.
Lions are large animals that reach a length of 10 feet and
can weigh anywhere from 350 pounds up to 500 pounds on
average. The males have manes, while the female does not.
Most animals keep a reasonable distance from lions. Lions
are carnivores and love to hunt for meat each day. A lion’s
roar can be heard up to 5 miles away! What animal wouldn’t
shiver from the sound of a mighty roar? Fortunately, lions
like to sleep around 16 to 20 hours a day to preserve energy.
A male lion protects his territory while the female lionesses
go in a group to hunt for food during the nights. When an
animal is claimed, the group brings it back to the male lion
who gets to eat first. There is usually a pecking order when
it comes to a claim. It is first the males, then the female lions,
and last the cubs.
As you may know, male lions are territorial and will roar and
use scent markings to establish their domain. They rarely
leave their realm and that is why the lionesses go out

hunting. While the male lion guards his territory, there
might be a coalition of 2 or 3 male lions who try to oust or
kill the male lion that claims his area for his pride.
Lions are the only cats to live in groups which are also called
a pride. Many dangers can occur for lions. Anything from
spotted hyenas stealing food from a lioness to killing a cub.
There are also diseases such as ticks or tuberculosis that
can end a life of a lion quickly.
As more territory is taken from lions by humans, the
dwindling population will continue to decrease. Lions will be
on the verge of extinction if we do not provide solutions to
ensure their survival on this planet that we share.
If lucky, a male lion in the wild can live 12 years and a female
lion up to 15 years. Lions are a favorite amongst wild
animals, and you will be surprised how much you can learn
about them. Don’t hesitate to research and read more about
lions in the near future. They are a genuinely fascinating
animal, and there is so much more to learn that hasn’t been
added to this trivia gamebook!

1
A mighty lion lays in the grassland keeping a watch on his
three cubs. He must protect his territory from invading male
lions and hyenas. He must make sure that the cubs are safe
from any harm. As the cubs’ play, it becomes evening, and
the mother lioness and her group leave to hunt.
“Father, can you tell us a story while we rest after playing all
day?” asks one of the cubs.
“Yes, lay down next to me, and I shall think of a story to tell,”
the father says while surveying his area.
There are three living species of the lion. They are the
Panthera leo leo (African lion), Panthera leo persica
(Asiatic lion), and the….

The cubs rest near their father as he begins to tell an old story
said to him long ago when he was but a small cub: There was
a young herd boy named Jabu (jah'-boo). He took great pride
in the way in which he cared for his father's cattle. And his
father had many cows - over 25! It was quite a task to keep
these silly creatures out of trouble, away from the farmer's
mealies (corn) and out of the dangerous roads. Jabu had
some friends who also kept their fathers' cattle, but none of
them had even half the herd Jabu did! And none of them
were as careful as Jabu. It was a sign of Jabu's father's pride
in his boy that he entrusted such a large herd to such a
young boy.
The lion is one of the five big cats in the genus Panthera
and is a member of the family Felidae. What are the

A spotted hyena is seen staring at one of the cubs, yet the
giant male lion roars towards the intruder as it jumps up and
runs away. The lion shakes its mane before gently continuing
with the story: One day as he sat atop a small koppie (hill)
watching the animals feed and braiding long thin strips of
grass into bangles for his sisters, Jabu's friend Sipho (see'-
poh) came running to him. "Have you heard the news, my
friend?" panted Sipho. Before Jabu could even answer,
Sipho rushed on to tell him. "Bhubesi, the lion, has been
seen in these parts. Last night Bhubesi attacked and killed
one of Thabo's (tah'-boh) father's cows. The men of the village
are already setting traps for the beast!"

D. 20,000, turn to 78.
E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 60.

The male lion continues with the story: Jabu wasn't surprised
by this news. His keen eyes had seen the spoor of the lion -
- his left-over kill, his prints here-and-there in the soft earth.
Jabu had respect for the king of the beasts. And since
Bhubesi's pattern was to hunt at night when the cattle were
safely within the kraal (/krawl/ "corral"), Jabu had seen no
reason to alert the village of Bhubesi's presence. But the
killing of a cow! "I wonder," thought Jabu to himself, "if the
cow was not left out of the kraal?" Thabo was known to be a
sloppy herd boy, a fellow who ran with his head in the
clouds. He had been known to forget a cow or two before.

A. 1 mile away, turn to 113.
B. 3 miles away, turn to 146.
C. 5 miles away, turn to 32.

One of the cubs falls asleep. The other two cubs continue to
listen to the story: "Woza, Ngane!" (woh'-zah ngah'-nay
"Come, friend!") Sipho urged, "come and put your cows away
for the day and watch with me as the men set the traps!"
Jabu slowly shook his head as he looked at Sipho and
smiled. "You know me, friend," he returned Sipho's address.
"I cannot put the cattle back into the kraal so early in the
day! They need to be driven to the river before they go home."
For up to how many hours does a lion rest in the wild
per day?

Vultures are close by eating the remains of an old elephant.
The hyenas that were close by shift their attention to the
remains of the elephant. The lion father continues with the
story: Sipho smiled. "Yes, I thought you would say this. But
I wanted to tell you anyway. I will see you later, friend,
perhaps by the fire tonight!" And Sipho ran toward the village
with a final wave to Jabu.
After a successful hunt, all the lions in the pride share
the meal. There is a pecking order of who eats first.
Which one is it?

E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 80.

The evening becomes night and no sign of the mother lioness.
The male lion continues to tell the story: Jabu began to gather
the cows together. He waved his intonga (ee-ntah'-gah
"staff") and gave a loud whistle. Each cow looked up, then
after a moment's pause slowly started to trudge toward
Jabu. With a grin, Jabu began to take them to water.

markings to establish their domains, turn to 119.

E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 33.

The night is full of sounds of various wild animals. Some are
hunting, and others are resting. The male continues with the
story: Jabu bathed his feet in the cold refreshing river as the
cows drank their fill. It was a beautiful sunny Autumn day,
and if his mind had not been so busy thinking about the lion
and the traps the men were setting, Jabu would probably be
shaping the soft river clay into small cow figurines for his
young brother. Then Jabu heard a sound that stole his
breath from him. "Rrrrroar!" came the bellow. The cows all
froze, a wild look coming into their eyes. "Rrrroarrrrrrr...." It
was Bhubesi, and he was near!
What is a coalition amongst lions?

their cubs creating a pride, turn to 142.

turn to 90.
E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 139.

With the bellies full from the elephant the vultures fly away,
and the hyenas leave to better things. The male lion continues
with the story: There was no time to drive the animals home;
the lion was much too close. Jabu slowly rose, looking
carefully around, his hand clenched on his staff. He walked
purposefully, trying not to show the fear that made his knees
tremble, pulling the cattle together into a tight circle. The
cows trusted him, and they obeyed.
"Rrrrroarr...oarr..oarr...aaa!" Jabu listened. Bhubesi was not
declaring his majesty or might....it sounded more like a cry
for help. Several more bellows and Jabu knew Bhubesi was
in trouble. Somehow this took most of the boy's fear of him.
Gripping his staff, Jabu quietly began to walk toward the
lion's cry.
Lions are the only cats to live in groups. What are these
groups called?

B. Gang, turn to 145.

The cubs feel safe as they listen to their father: Yes, indeed,
the lion was in trouble. Jabu found him in a small clearing
several meters across the river. He was caught in one of the
traps laid by the men of the village. His head was firmly
wedged in the barred structure, and the more he struggled,
the tighter the snare became. Jabu stood and stared. Never
before had he seen the king of the animals so near. He
indeed was a majestic animal. And a large part of his heart
was sore for the creature. Then the lion saw the boy. "Hawu!
Mfana! (hah'woo mfah'nah "Oh! Boy!") It is good that you are
here. Please, help me. I am caught in this stupid trap, and I
cannot free myself. Please, please, will you come and pull up
on the bar that is holding my head here. Please!"

11
A herd of buffalo walk past but stay at a certain distance from
the mighty male lion who is telling a story to his cubs: Jabu
looked into Bhubesi's eyes. He could not read them, but he
could hear the desperation in the animal's voice. "Please,
Mfana! Please! Before those hunters come and kill me. Please
release me!" Jabu had a tender heart, but he was no fool. "I
would very much like to free you, Bhubesi! But I am afraid
that as soon as I did so, you would make me your dinner."
"Oh, no, Ngane wami! (ngah'nee wah'me "My friend") I could
never eat someone who set me free! I promise, I promise with
full sincerity, that I will not touch a hair on your head!"

D. Hyena, turn to 95.
E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 152.

12
A parade of elephants passes by. They are not concerned with
the male lion who continues to tell the story to his cubs: Well,
the lion begged and pleaded so pitifully that Jabu finally
decided to trust him and set him free. Gingerly he stepped
over to the trap and raised the bar that held the lion's head.
With a mighty bound the lion leaped free of the trap and
shook his mane. "Oh, thank you, Mfana! I owe you
something. My neck was getting so stiff in there, and I fear
it would have been parted from my body by the hunters if
you hadn't come along. Now, please, if you don't mind,
Mfana, one last thing... I have become so thirsty from being
in that thing; I would like a drink of water. Can you show me
where the river is? I seem to have become confused with my
directions."

D. In 2050, turn to 43.
E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 114.

13
The lion continues as the 2 nd cub falls asleep: Jabu agreed,
keeping a wary eye on the lion, and led the lion upstream
from where he had come, away from his father's cows, since
Bhubesi had made no promise about not eating them! As
lion drank, he watched Jabu with one eye. He was thinking
to himself, "Hmmm....nice looking legs on that boy!
Hmmm....and those arms are good looking too! Pity to waste
such an excellent meal!" When the lion raised his head from
the river, both eyes were on Jabu, and this time the boy
could see what was reflected there. Jabu began to back up.

14
The one cub shows no sign of tiredness and listens carefully
to the story her father is giving: "You promised, Bhubesi,"
Jabu began. "I saved you from the hunters, and you
promised not to eat me!" "Yes," said Bhubesi, slowly walking
toward the retreating boy. "You are right; I did make that
promise. But somehow now that I am free it does not seem
so important to keep that promise. And I am famished!" "You
are making a big mistake," said Jabu. "Don't you know that
if you break your promises that the pieces of the broken
promises will come back to pierce you?"
What is the survival rate for a lion cub in the wild?

E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 141.

15
A herd of giraffes are near. They are nibbling off the highest
leaves of an Acacia tree. The male lion continues with the
story: The lion stopped and laughed. "Hah! What nonsense!
How can such a flimsy thing pierce me? I am more
determined than ever to eat you now, boy," and he started
stalking Jabu once more, "and all this talk is just serving to
make me hungrier!" Just then an old donkey happened
across their path. "Ask the donkey," said Jabu to the lion.
"Ask him, and he will tell you how bad it is to break a
promise." "He, wena! (hay, way'nah "alright, you!") You are
certainly dragging this thing out! So, I will ask the donkey."
The lion turned to the old creature. "I want to eat this boy,"
he addressed the donkey. "Isn't that okay?" Jabu broke in,
"But he promised to let me go after I freed him from the
snare," Jabu added.

E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 30.

16
The baby cub itches her ear with her paw as a large ant was
on it. She then lays closer to her father to continue listening to
the story: The donkey slowly looked at the lion and then at
Jabu. "I say," the donkey started, "that all my life these
stupid humans have beat me and forced me to carry things.
Now that I am old they turn me out and leave me to waste
away all alone. I do not like humans." He turned back to the
lion. "Eat the boy!" and the donkey moved on. "Well, that
settles that," said the lion as he began to approach the boy
once more. Just then Mpungushe the jackal stepped
between the two. "Oh, terribly sorry," he said, "to have
disturbed you. I'll be on my way..." "No!" shouted Jabu. "Wait
and tell the lion how bad it is to break a promise." "A
promise?" asked the jackal. "Well, I suppose it depends upon
the promise, doesn't it? Why? Did one of you make a
promise?" Lion sat down and rolled his eyes up toward the
heavens.

The lion sits up to keep an eye on his cubs while continuing
with the story: "Yes," Jabu said. And he told Jackal how he
had freed the lion from the trap, and how Lion had promised
not to eat him, and how now Lion was intent upon doing that
very thing! "Oh, what a silly story!" said Jackal. "My nkosi,
the great king of all the animals, stuck in a little trap made
by humans? Impossible! I don't believe it." "It is true," said
Bhubesi. "It is a strong and terrible trap!" "Oh, I can't believe
anything is stronger than my king. I must see this thing!
Please, will you take the courtesy before your dinner to show
me this trap that you are speaking about? Please! Then you
can eat your meal in peace!"

A blacked-back jackal starts to yell, yelp, woof, whine and
then growl to irritate the quiet night of crickets chirping to the
point the large lion roars scaring the jackal off. Excuse me my
daughter for the rude interruption. Where was I? Oh yes, as
the lion lays down near the cub to continue the story: So, the
lion, keeping Jabu in front of himself, led Jackal to the trap.
"But you can't tell me that this little thing could hold your
head! Never! I just can't imagine it. Nkosi, would you mind
just sticking your head there so I can see how you looked
when the boy found you?" "Hawu. You are testing me with
your questions. This last thing I will do for you and then you
must be on your way and leave me to my dinner in peace."
So, Lion stuck his head back between the bars just the way
he had been when Jabu had found him. Then, quicker than
lightning, Jackal threw the top bar in place. The lion was
caught fast once again!

The male lion’s stomach growls. “Papa, are you hungry?” “Yes
child, but I sense the group will return with food soon. Let me
continue the story.” he replies: "Yes," said Jackal, " now I see
how you were trapped. What a pity that you are so trapped
once more. But the boy is right, Nkosi. Broken promises
always catch up with you!" The lion roared in anger, but the
sound trap held him well. Jabu thanked the jackal and ran
back to his cows, who were all patiently waiting for their
shepherd's return.

The group of lionesses return with food and lay it down.
“Hello, my husband. How are the children?” the largest of the
lionesses asks approaching cuddling with her two cubs that
are asleep. “They are fine, but our oldest one is anticipating
the ending of the story that I have been telling,” the male lion
replies. Then he continues with the ending of the story: Jabu
drove them home and into the kraal. What a day he had had!
"Jabu, Jabu," Sipho came running from behind Jabu. "The
lion has been caught in the trap near the river! You and your
cows missed all the adventure!" Jabu turned and smiled at
his friend. "We have had all the adventure we need for one
day," he said. And as Sipho headed back to the hunters to
hear the story once again of the mighty lion caught in the
trap, Jabu greeted his mother in the cooking house and sat
down with a sigh.
“And so, ends the story. If you are trapped one day and saved
by a human, which I find highly unlikely, they don’t break a
promise and eat the one that saved you.”
The giant lion sighs, as he knows he must tell the story again
one day in hopes that his cubs will next time stay awake long
enough to learn the moral of the story. He then looks at the
lioness, the mother of the cubs, and smiles.
“Now I shall eat,” the male lion gets up and leaves.

Female lions generally mate once in every two years. They
can give birth to one to six cubs at a time. The females
usually carry cubs for a total period of three and half months
before giving birth. The survival rate of the cubs is not very
high as more than half of the cubs die within one year of
their birth.

It is a common belief that lion claws are retractable. Actually,
they are protractible, which means that when the animal is
at rest, the claws are sheathed. This protects the claws and
helps keeps them sharp. If their claws were retractable, lions
would need to walk around tensing to keep the claws
sheathed.

More about lions
Approximately 600 lions are killed every year by tourists on
trophy hunts. An estimated 60% of these “trophies” are
shipped to the U.S.
In Botswana, 90% of the free-roaming lions are infected with
FIV, the feline equivalent of human HIV.
The earliest recorded images of lions are found in the
Chauvet Cave in southern France dating back 32,000 years.
Since the origin of civilization, images of lions have been
used to represent majesty, awe, and leadership. Their
depictions can be found in most civilizations including
Paleolithic cultures, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, Middle
Eastern, Persian, Jewish, Christian, many gnostic
traditions, Arthurian legends, Islamic traditions, Hindu-
Buddhist traditions, and Chinese and Eastern Asian
traditions.
The most famous lion in ancient Greece mythology is the
Nemean lion, which was killed by Heracles. It is represented
in the constellation Leo and is also a sign of the Zodiac.
Lions do not purr. The only member of the big cat family that
does is the leopard.
At the base of each lion’s whisker is a black spot. The
patterns these spots make are unique to each lion, similar
to a human’s fingerprint. Scientists are able to tell lions
apart by looking at these patterns.

When a lion curls up its top lip and pulls a funny face, it is
usually using its Jacobson’s organ, which is a small area on
the roof of the mouth that allows a lion to “taste” the air. By
sticking out their tongues and showing their teeth, which is
known as the “flehmen response,” they can determine if
there is food close by and if it’s worth eating.
Lions have a well-developed sense of hearing, which is
enhanced by movable ears that can adjust to the direction
of a sound. A lion can hear prey up to a mile away.
The griffin is a mythic creature with the body of a lion and
the head and wings of an eagle. This powerful creature
symbolizes various qualities, such as the sun, wisdom,
vengeance, strength, and salvation. The creature’s dual
nature also can symbolize Jesus Christ’s resurrection or the
strength and wisdom of God.
A lion’s body is the foundation of one of Egypt’s largest single
structures, the Great Sphinx.
The lion hunt is an ancient symbol. Ancient political leaders
would often draw their legitimacy from depicting their
triumph over a lion. The real slaughter of lions, however, has
mainly occurred only in the past 200 years.
Lions are at risk of extinction by the year 2020 unless drastic
measures are taken to save them.
In Swahili, a lion is called Simba.
