The tiger’s coat is orange with black stripes, but white tigers also exist.

The lion is a large, four-legged mammal. It lives in Africa and Asia. A male lion is called a ‘lion’ while the female of the species is called a ‘lioness’. Cubs are baby lions. Lions can be found in savannas, grasslands, or even mountainous regions. In South Africa, they live in the savannas.

Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

The crocodile’s jaw can extend far out allowing them to grab prey with their teeth. Crocodiles generally prey on fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
