Zoos can be a great place to see animals from all walks of life. From armadillos all the way to zebras and everything in between, these creatures come from a vast variety of landscapes all around the world. However, there is one animal that is recognizable almost everywhere thanks to its roar, power, and strength. Yes, we are talking about the mighty lion. In the wild, these big cats are social creatures that are found living in prides. Did you know there have been reports of up to 40 lions all living together? These felines know how to survive thanks to hundreds of years of practice.
The females are the perfect machines to take down prey to feed the rest of the group, but everyone must still bow down to the alphas of the group if they don’t want any trouble. Although these lions once lived all around the world, they are now only found in Africa. So taking a trip to the zoo can be the only chance for many of us to see these felines up close. However, no one ever thought they would witness a big cat and dog go face to face. Sure, they have been rivals for years, but what were they to do? After all, dachshunds only stand a few inches off the floor – there was no way this pooch was going to be a match for a lion. Everyone was on the edge of their seat to see who would come out victorious.

Lions have certainly earned their ‘King’ status thanks to their incredible manes, their mighty roars, and even their looming presence in the savannas of Africa. So seeing them in enclosures can put them in a whole new light. For the first time, we can see they aren’t as different to our house cats as we once thought. Who would have believed it? However, they are still unpredictable wild animals with the power to take down any human that stands in their way. There is a reason they are such good hunters. Have you seen those four-inch teeth and one and a half-inch claws? No one could stand in their way, especially not a defenseless dachshund…
