The lion is a great, fierce cat. His mouth, teeth, eyes, whiskers, and paws are just like those of the cat, but more larger and stronger. He roars like distant thunder. He lives wild in the forests of some lands. He sleeps all day in his den, and comes out in the evening to catch his prey. Like the cat, he can see well when there is very little light. He kills and eats animals as big as the horse and the cow.
