	Lions
		The lion's coat is short and varies in color from buff yellow, orange-brown, or silvery gray to dark brown, with a tuft on the tail tip that is usually darker than the rest of the coat.
		Lions prey on a large number of animals ranging in size from gazelles and baboons upward to buffalo and hippopotamuses, but they prefer to hunt such medium- to large-sized hoofed animals as wildebeest, zebra, and impala and other antelopes.
		The offspring of a lion and a tigress is called a liger; that of a tiger and a lioness, a tigon; that of a leopard and a lioness, a leopon.

	The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" is narrated in the third person, since it was adapted from a stage play in which Watson hardly appeared.
		"The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" and "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" are both narrated by Holmes himself, the latter being set after his retirement.
		They were written at a time when Doyle was heavily immersed in his newfound passion for spiritualism and seances, and considerably less than interested in continuing to produce Sherlock Holmes stories, which he regarded by now as a distracting nuisance.

		This initial movement of lions into the region of Shinde Island and their residence there was an indirect result of the gradual receding of the Delta’s permanent waters over a twenty-year period.
		As is commonly the case within lion society, Caesar and Scarface chased off the now grown male cubs, killing one, therefore reducing the threat of a challenge to their position from another male.
		This is partly due to the practice of male lions killing the young of rivals, in addition to the fact that young are killed by jackals and hyenas, typically when the females leave the young alone while they go to hunt, sometimes for several hours at a time.

		Summary The male lions of Tsavo, Kenya, which gained notoriety in the late 19th century as man-eaters, lack the majestic golden mane commonly associated with male lions.
		Two scientists are investigating the possibility that the lions' social structure and absence of a mane all boils down to hormones.
		But a consistent study had not been done to determine whether these sightings were of adolescent male lions, which hadn't had time to grow a mane, or possibly castrated males who lost their mane within a few months.
