lions

Oh my, oh my! If these aren't the most precious pictures we've ever seen -- we don't know what is! We seriously cannot contain our smiles looking at these purrfect lion cubs smile! 

It's totally contagious! 

The cubs are both males who have yet to be named, born January 11th to mom Kali and dad Arnold, at the Audubon Zoo.

The duo went in for a routine check-up and had their first round of vaccinations -- both "healthy and active," says zoo curator of large mammals, Joe Forys. 

"The cubs looked great. Their body condition is outstanding. They are both growing at a rate that we would expect. We're really happy," continued Forys.

The cubs great health is all thanks to their loving and doting mother! Forys said that Kali is providing her babies with absolutely everything they need and more. These two sure look like happy cubs to us!

Lions: the most majestic creatures in the animal kingdom. Fierce, caring and playful, lions are the animals we all admire and fear a little. Continue reading to see beautiful pictures of lots of lions. 

Ladies and gents, we present to you the mighty king and queen of the jungle -- in all their wonderfully goofy glory! There's something so powerful when it comes to lions, and to see them being...well, more housecat-like, gives off such a warm fuzzy feeling. Who wouldn't love to hang out with one of these giant murder fluffs?

I Can Has Moar Lions?

First of all, here's some lion memes and some lion fun facts to layer down "a base" of basic internet lion knowledge. Once that is done, learn some more and lion up about lions on Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia's Lion page.  The Smithsonian lion page has some really great pictures of the magnificent beasts and South Africa's Kruger National Park and African Wildlife Foundation contain very detailed information about the diets, habits, habitat and other fun facts about lions. So does the San Diego Zoo, and Youtube has an amazing video of a 23-year old man that is best friends with a lion and other big cats. National Geographic has a very informative video explaining everything about lions and the Animal Fact Guide offers a simplified rundown of everything lion that is easy to teach to kids or to those just starting to learn about the big cats that happen to be king of the jungle.

These will give you the inspiration you need right now. Just like we always dreamed our fathers would take us into the backyard and tell us "One day son, this will be all yours". Except instead of kingdom, it's a lawn for your to mow. But take heart from these big cats with big words for you to take to heart. And if you are a glutton for random facts along with being a cat lover, than these amazing lion facts will blow you away.

Photographer David Lloyd's Bond of Brothers image, which features a pair of male lions, took home the People's Choice Award at this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Sometimes we spend years mistreating animals to force them to perform certain acts. Or to behave in a certain way. And we would never in years of such behavior towards these majestic animals, be able to capture a moment so pure and natural. And in the spirit of that majesty, are these regal lion memes that will have you feeling like you too have (had) a claim to the Iron Throne.

It's hot, it's summer and we all wait for that nice breeze. Even these guys! 

As some of the most famous animals in  the animal kingdom, and the proverbial "king", I think we can expect behavior a bit more dignified and collected than these dorks. But its good to know as majestic, and oftentimes intimidating they can be, at heart they are just a bunch of goofball cats looking to live large and have a good time. 

Here are some impressive fun facts to memorize and use as a way of breaking that awkward silence at the dinner table. And what better animal to talk about than the king of them all? Yes, we are talking about lions. Who doesn't like lions? They are majestic, powerful, cute and they have nice manes. And we all secretly want a pet lion to protect us, or a friend like Aslan. 

Here's some majestic AF lions that don't include any fun facts, just cool pics of the mighty big cats, and here's some lion memes that also contain no fun facts like the ones on this list.
