Cats are expert predators. As said in the introduction , all cats are carnivores .
Lions are unique when it comes to dinner because only the female lions (lionesses) do the hunting! A lion’s diet consists of medium-sized mammals such as, zebra, buffalo, wild boar, and gazelle. However, they do not prey on adult elephants, giraffes, rhinos, or hippos – they must be careful what they attack!

Tigers prey on deer, buffalo, and wild boar. A tiger will mark his or her prey with a special scent that lets other tigers know it’s his or hers.

Leopards are also unique because they can hunt in trees and will eat almost anything made of meat.

About the Artist/Author:
Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind KidZone.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:
Things I Love:
Writing for Kids: My happy place is creating engaging content that sparks curiosity and joy in young minds.Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.
Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:
Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?
I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.
I know that while the educational content on KidZone.ws is largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy learning!
