Lions, often referred to as the "king of the jungle," are among the most iconic animals in the world. Native primarily to the grasslands and savannas of Africa, they are also found in some parts of Asia, with a small population in India’s Gir Forest. Lions are the only social cats, living in groups called prides, which typically consist of related females, their offspring, and a few adult males.

Leopards are adaptable and elusive big cats, capable of thriving in various habitats across Africa, Asia, and parts of the Middle East. Known for their beautiful spotted coats, which provide camouflage, leopards are primarily nocturnal and highly skilled climbers, often dragging prey up trees to avoid scavengers.

Wolves are highly social animals that live in packs and are found across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Known for their intelligence and pack dynamics, wolves rely on teamwork and communication to hunt effectively. Their social structure is complex, with each pack consisting of an alpha pair and their offspring, who work together to bring down prey.

Cheetahs are known for their unparalleled speed, reaching up to 70 miles per hour in short bursts when chasing prey. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs are built for speed rather than strength, with a lean body, long legs, and a flexible spine. They hunt in open savannas where they rely on their sight and speed to catch prey, typically focusing on smaller ungulates like gazelles and impalas.

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, found in the savannas, forests, and deserts of Africa and Asia. Known for their intelligence, complex social structure, and strong family bonds, elephants play a significant role in their ecosystems. African elephants are divided into two species: the larger savanna elephants and the smaller forest elephants, while Asian elephants are generally smaller with distinct features like smaller ears.

Deer are herbivorous mammals found in various habitats worldwide, from forests and mountains to grasslands and savannas. Known for their slender bodies, large eyes, and impressive antlers (in males of many species), deer are adaptive and resourceful. They have a diverse diet of grasses, shrubs, leaves, and fruits, and their feeding habits help shape vegetation patterns in their ecosystems.
