Rarely alone, lions usually live in family groups. Lions have very good sight, a sharp sense of hearing and good sense of scent. Lions usually hunt at night but you may be lucky enough to see a kill during the day. Lions normally hunt as a team, by stealthily stalking their prey, crouching low to the ground before rushing for the kill when close enough.

Weighing up to 200 kgs, a lion is exceptionally strong and can bring down a large animal like a buffalo that is four times its weight. Lions can be observed in most of the Tanzania National Parks and game reserves.
