2. Can Lions swim?
• Can but not that well
• They will only swim, If there’s
necessary
• Some of the lions able to swim,
especially big cats of Africa
• Unlike their cousins (other cats)
they are not fancy to water
Science Aspects : Physics
3. How Lions camouflage themselves ?
• They camouflage by hiding in tall
savannah grass
• When their prey comes by , they
pounce on them and make their kill.
• They also use it when their prey runs
too fast for them to catch.
• They are generally lazy
• They camouflage to hide from the heat.
Science Aspects : Physics
4. Describe the extraordinary lengths/mass/size or other
measurements of the lion
• Lions live for 10–14 years in the wild,
in captivity they can live longer than 20 years.
• In the wild, males seldom live longer
than 10 years
• Injuries sustained from continual
fighting with rival males greatly reduces
their longevity
• Highly distinctive, the male lion is easily recognised by its
mane
• Its face is one of the most widely recognised animal symbols
in human culture
Science Aspects : Physics
5. Science Aspects : Biology
How lion is born?
• Lion give birth to their
young
• The gestation period
last for 105-110days
• They give birth 1-5
cups each litter
• Lionesses can give
birth every two years
6. Science Aspects : Biology
• They lie in shade and
sand (hot weather)
• They have thick fur
(cold weather)
• They find dark places
(cold weather)
• They also huddle in
groups to help keep
in heat.
How its body functions to enable it to survive in
hot/cold ?
7. Science Aspects : Biology
• They living on grassy
plains
• Dry thorn forest
• They prefer to live
near river because to
ensure constant water
supply
• Water attracts prey
Habitat
11. Question 4
Where do lions live ?
• Near water bodies (rivers and etc)
• Live on grassy plains and dry thorn forest
12. Question 5
How its body functions to enable it to survive in
cold environment?
• They have thick fur (cold weather)
• They find dark places (cold weather)
• They also huddle in groups to help keep in heat.
13. VALUES ASPECTS
Responsibility
• They take care and protect their offspring.
• They keep predator away from their offspring
Perseverance
• They try their best to find their prey for their offspring even
though they might get injured during the process of killing
their prey
14. POSITIVE CHARACTERISTICS
• Lions are determined animals
• Female lions work together to catch a prey to eat.
• They encircle their prey from different angle points.
• Once they are ready, the attack is short and powerful
• They attempt to catch the victim with a fast rush and final leap.
15. RECYCLING
• Lion’s dung has its useful ways like for example:
• It is mixed with water and then spread it along tracks to prevent
wild deer from running into tracks and getting killed by accident.
• Deer are shunned by the aroma of the Lion’s dung and this
prevents them from going near to train tracks.
16. DEFENCE MECHANISM OF A LION
• It has 3 inches teeth and 3 inches claws.
• It also has strong swipes that can knock down its opponent.
• A lion’s defence mechanisms are the display of its overall size and
power(posture of chest out, head back)
17. DEFENCE MECHANISM OF A LION
• Their tremendous roar, their growl, a display of their large razor
claws , a preliminary pounce or run towards a threat in an effort
to make it flee and if necessary an unbelievable ability to attack
and kill virtually any opponent.
18. Our reflections
“ I personally feel that this group
project is knowledgeable and
interesting because we are learning
about animals and the animal my
group is researching about is on
Lions. Surprisingly I find many
interesting facts about Lions like
their behavioural characteristics and
physical which I do not know of. “

19. Our reflections
“ I feel that this group project is
interesting. At first when I heard that
we are going to the zoo, I thought it
will be so boring and not really that
important. After going for this learning
journey, I learn a lot of interesting facts
about the various animals . It was a fun
experience ” ~ Nurlina

20. Our Reflections
“I think that this time activity is great and
meaningful because it enable us to bond more
with our classmates and get to know each
more” ~ Edward (Group Member)
“I think that that this zoo
trail is meaningful and
helps us more understand
animals .” ~ Yun Yee
(Group Member)
“I think this zoo trail makes us learn more
things about animals and by doing the project ,
we get to learn the animal we are appointed to.”
