Lions on the Serengeti Plains

This male and female lion pair live near a stream in the Serengeti, a huge plains area in Tanzania. All types of animals live on the plains and migrate through each year. The plains are a reserve area designated by the Tanzanian government and providing total protection to the animals from hunters.

Other lions belong to the pride (family) of the pictured pair. Several prides of lions live in this area. When a lion roars, he or she can be heard from miles away. Imagine what it would sound like if they were just outside your tent?!
