Who is the king of the jungle?

The Lion is considered as the king of the jungle. Lions are muscular, deep-chested felids with short, rounded heads, reduced necks and round ears. Of the living, non-hybrid felids, the lion is second only to the tiger in length and weight. Its skull is very similar to that of the tiger, although the frontal region is usually more depressed and flattened, with a slightly shorter postorbital region and broader nasal openings than that of a tiger.

Lion colouration varies from light buff to silverly gray, to yellowish red and dark brown. The underparts are generally lighter and cubs are born with dark rosettes (spots) on their body. The spots fade as lions reach adulthood, although faint spots often may still be seen on the legs and underparts.
