With its mouth wide open and fangs bared, the roaring lion embodies the power of the “king of beasts.” This impressive roar is not only a demonstration of strength: it also serves to mark territory, gather prides, and warn intruders to stay away.
A lion can roar so loudly that the sound can travel up to 8 kilometers—a record in the animal kingdom! This behavior plays an essential role in the social life of lions, which are the only felines to live in organized groups. Lionesses hunt as a team, while the male protects the pride and monitors the boundaries of his territory.
This Papo figurine depicts the lion in a striking pose: open mouth, fanned mane, and powerful stance, as if roaring in the savannah. A spectacular piece to complete a collection of wild animals, invent thrilling adventures, or introduce children to the discovery of African big cats.
