If I could be an animal, I would be a...
Lion!
If I could be an animal, I’d be a lion. I’ve always loved lions, ever since watching Disney’s The Lion King on repeat when I was younger. They’re such a big feature in the world of safari and there’s no wonder why. Although a very dangerous animal, they’re so elegant in the way they move. They’re incredibly powerful but have such a loving and soft side to them.
Video’s showing rescued animals online show how they love cuddles with their rescuers and how they can play without becoming violent. When they are shown in nature documentaries, their personalities really shine through and for a moment you forget how dangerous they can be.
Did you know that lions can run at a speed of 81mph?
