World Lion Day

Posted by The Open Page | 10th August

 
World Lion Day 

A Lion is called a king of beasts obviously for a reason and Lions Day aims to raise awareness of the majestic. Every species is important to the health of an ecosystem. Removing one species can weaken a habitat, but if a keystone species is removed, an entire ecosystem could collapse.
 
Lions spend about two to three hours hunting, one hour eating, and a full 20 hours sleeping every day! 
They’ve got street (well, savanna) smarts. To be successful, lions must outsmart their prey. So they memorize every inch of their hundred-square-mile territories. They store detailed, 3-D maps in their brains, like in a video game. They know the location of their prey’s favorite hangouts, watering holes, and worn paths. Lions can easily recall the best lookout points in their territory and the best spots to launch an ambush.
 
Lions can see six times better in the dark than humans! They have a reflective layer of cells at the back of their eyes. Light from the moon or stars hits the cells and bounces forward, like a car’s headlights. Animals and surroundings appear brighter in the dark.
 
They rule ever where, they are very good team players, have best hair, are smart in walk, have ninja like quality, have a good night vision but the saddest part is that now they are endangered.
This celebration of the animal kingdom’s most beautiful and fearsome creature was founded by Big cats Rescue, the world’s largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to big Cats. August 10th is a day to pay tribute to the mighty Lion is as many ways as possible.
 
How we can celebrate is entirely up to us, we can change our dp of social media and can keep a profile of lion’s picture, can arrange competition to find out the loudest roar, poem competition can ,essay writing, sketch drawing and coloring, by performing drama on” save the lion”, by giving  donation for Big Cats to Rescue’s ongoing mission.
This celebration of the animal kingdom’s most beautiful and fearsome creature was that from the name.
 
This celebration of the animal kingdom’s most beautiful and fearsome creature w dedicated to big cats. August 10th is a day for people to come together from across the world to pay tribute to the mighty lion in as many ways as possible. Though a fun and exciting occasion for all, its foundations are based in a very serious matter: lion numbers have dramatically declined to the point where the species needs to be placed on the endangered list, just like its larger cousin the tiger.
 
How you celebrate is entirely up to you. You could change your social media profile pictures to a lion for the day, draw a sketch and share it with friends, find out who has the loudest roar, or even get your coworkers to sponsor you to wear a lion jumpsuit to work, then Big Cat Rescue’s ongoing mission.
