African Lions

via

The lion is the king of the animals, and not without good reason. Lions are the only cats that live together in groups and the males are in charge of taking care of their territory. The African lion can weigh anywhere from 265 to 420 pounds, enabling them to easily overpower weaker animals when hunting. Female lions are tend to be the primary hunters of the pride. Sharing of the kill is done via a pecking order, with the cubs eating last. While lions do not actively hunt people, there have been several recorded cases of African lions seeking out humans as prey.
