Orana Park cats.

 Hey, Hi, Hello

Yesterday the year 7 and 8's went on a trip to Orana Park. It was amazing, we learned about a lot of different animals. The teachers shared the pictures with us. There were so many animals but I can't type it all so I am going to talk about the cats.

We saw the lions first. We saw 2 male lions and 2 female lions. It was sad because the male lions didn't have manes. Because they had something to make them have no testosterone so they won't inbreed. But they need testosterone to develop manes. Lions are social animals which means they have to work together to survive and they don't like being alone. Also female lions are very lion racist because female lions like males with dark long manes. The females would attack the male lion if the male lion doesn't give them any food. When a male lion takes over a pride(a lion group) the new male would kill all the cubs because they weren't related to him. The king of the pride would kick out 2 year old male cubs because that's the time they mature and they could inbreed . So If you think about it the lion king is pretty inaccurate and weird. A lion roars can go over 2.5 miles Here is a picture. 

I only just realized how long this would be so darn long. Let's move on. I am going to talk about the complete opposite of a lion. The Tiger.

Today I Learned Tiger Skin is Striped Just Like Its Fur » TwistedSifter
here Is a picture of their skin.
The Tiger is a solitary animal which means they live alone unless they are going to mate or the mother is taking care of the child. Under the tigers fur they have stripy skin. Lions, Tigers and most cats have retractable claws which means their claws can go in and out. Tigers are the only cats that like water.

The cheetahs, like tigers, are also solitary. Cheetahs are the only cats that can't retract their claws. Cheetahs are the fastest animal on land. The wild cheetahs can go over 100km/h. Cheetahs use their tales to steer. Cheetahs also put their front legs to the back and put their back legs to the front for big strides. Cheetahs can go 4 strides per second.

Those are all the cats we saw. They were so cool unlucky we didn't see the cheetahs run.
