According to heroviral.com, the life of a circus animal can often be one of incredible cruelty and sadness. Pancho and Temuco are brothers – and they are lions that used to live as circus performers in Bolivia.
They were found starving and had endured hardships for years. The brothers were rescued by Animal Defenders International and are finally free to enjoy the simple things in life – like some fresh straw.
According to Out to Africa, mature male lions are unique among the cat species for the thick mane of brown or black hair that encircles the head and neck. The tails of lions end in a horny spine covered with a tuft of hair.

Females do 85 to 90 percent of the pride’s hunting, while the males patrol the territory and protect the pride, for which they take the “lion’s share” of the females’ prey. When resting, lions seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. But when it comes to food, each lion looks out for itself.
Lions are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend 16 to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting, devoting the remaining hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. They keep in contact with one another by roaring loud enough to be heard up to five miles away.
