The days of kings and emperors are over; surely in India, especially after annexation. Yet India boasts of a king. His very presence is absolutely royal. Equally is regal the female of the species.
Have you guessed who I might be talking about it? Yes, no suspense needed as the answer is rather obvious. Yes, we are talking about the undisputed king of the jungle, the lion.
Does he lord royally over his dominion! You bet! Why, not only does he rule over the jungle but even in his pride as well, His Majesty relaxes cooly, while the females do all the hard work for getting the prey. Once they manage the hunt, the all-powerful royal arrives at the site of the kill to take away the biggest chunk.
The lion does not seem to like any confrontations on the whole. Seems to prefer the easy go approach. Yet his reflexes are very sharp. It is no wonder hence that the lions would let the deer prance about if the lion has had enough.
The lion cubs are cuteness personified. Moreover, films like 'The lion King " have romanticised our perceptions of the animal. Hence on a day dedicated to lions, let us celebrate this majestic species. Long live the lion!
Pratima@Why, the lion can be lovesick, too! Remember the Aesop story about a lion who wanted to marry the farmer's daughter?!?
