Lions living in a group are called a pride. My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children. The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away. Come to meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped. As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear. Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own. But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting. We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends. Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food. Since we are full, it’s time to go to find a nice place for a sleep. Bye! 1. From the text, we can learn that Lisa comes from______. A. Asia B. Africa C. Europe D. America 2.
