 * Lions VS. Cheetahs **


 * ROAR! These animals are very strong-like creatures of the jungles. What do you think those ferocious beasts could be? The LION and the CHEETAH! They are mammals, cats, carnivores, and wild animals found in Africa. These animals, or also known as the cat family, have many unlike features that they posses and as well as some of the same things. The lion and the cheetah are excellent predators and cunning, when it comes to prey! They both hunt for antelope, wild boars, and sometimes even elephants when they are very hungry! Having sharp teeth, helps them to grab the prey easier. Another similarity is that both the lion and cheetah hunt with their cubs as well. Lions and cheetahs also have things in contrast, which help them survive. **


 * A lion lives in a pride to hunt, mostly with the females who hunt for the males. The males just relax in their home and protect their territory in case anyone steals something. The cubs also hunt, so that when they become older they would know how to catch one as their prey. The male lion weighs ranging from 450-500 lb. The female lion weighs ranging from 300-350 lb. A lion's speed is 50 miles per hour in short distances, and have very sharp claws which they usually use to capture their prey. They are also known as the "King of the Jungle." **


 * A cheetah lives mostly by itself, but other times with one female and the cubs. Both the male and the female cheetah hunt by their selves, and expect the cubs to do the same, at a very young age. This teaches the cubs how to hunt alone if they had no food. The male and female cheetah weigh ranging from 150-200 lb. The cheetah can run up to 70 miles per hour, which the same speed a car goes on a highway! A cheetah catches its prey by outrunning and jabbing its teeth in the neck, so the prey can't run anywhere and would be weakened. They are also known as the "Fastest Animal on Land." **


 * <range type="comment" id="122999">These very important beasts are not only known for their looks or power, but their skills. Lions and cheetahs should not be forgotten but recognized in museums, so people can see all the wonderful facilities they share. **
