My favorite animal

There are many animals I like, but I like lions best. Lions are the king of the jungle, strong creatures, and they look magnificent.

First, the lion is the king of the hill for many reasons. No animal has tried to kill a lion. The ones who have tried either ran away or eventually died. Lions never run away unless it is badly hurt or a hunter is trying to capture it. Next, lions are strong in many ways. Lions teeth are as sharp as a blade. Their teeth are sharp so they can kill and eat an animal easily. Their claws are sharp. They can run without slipping, climb trees, and rip open their prey's carcass. Lions are muscular. They can run really fast for a short period of time. During that time the lion is turning and twisting really fast. The reason why it turns so fast is that its muscles are helping it turn fast. After attacking, lions get tired. Lastly, lions look magnificent in many ways. Lions look big. They look like they are ten times taller then me. Male lions have shiny fur around its neck. This helps them camouflage in the grass. Lioness do not have fur around its neck. They lay on the grass to camouflage.

All in all, Lions are strong, the king of the hill, and they look magnificent. Every time I go to the San Francisco Zoo I look for the lions.
