MRS GREN-Living Things-Lion

Using MRS GREN to describe the 7 Living Processes of a Lion.

Movement:

Lions communicate through a range of behaviours and their expressive movements are very highly developed. They will perform peaceful tactile actions such as licking each other and rubbing heads. Head rubbing, or nuzzling, is a common greeting behaviour for lions.
Reproduction:
In captivity lions often breed every year, but in the wild they usually breed no more than once in two years. Females are receptive to mating for three or four days within a widely variable reproductive cycle.
Sensing:

The lion is known as king of the jungle, and he's engineered to rule. Not only does he have good senses -- he has great senses. His excellent sense of sight helps him see large prey, even at night, assisted by hearing and scent-detection.
Growth:

Adult lions are between 3 and 8 years old. They are fully grown and are of breeding age - females will often have cubs. Adult males are in their prime. A male's mane will grow - adult males mostly have medium or large manes.
Respiration:
Lions respiratory systems are similar to humans as well, through a two-way respiratory system. They inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. ... The African lion is a warm blooded mammal that breathes much the same way humans do. They breath through the nostrils, mouth and lungs.
Excretion:

Apparent digestibilities were fairly high ranging from 77.4 to 94.3% in the zoo and from 83.8 to 95.6% at the nature reserve. Fecal excretion was highly variable and irregular, the lions excreting up to four times following food ingestion and in some cases only twice.
Nutrition:
They require a meat mix and the nutritional content of this food should be: protein; 37.2%, fat 39.6%, ash 9.1%, fibre 1.1%.

  1. Hi Rylee,
    I love how much research has gone into this post. I didn't know most of this stuff and about the lion's life. Next time change the headings to bold so they can stand out a bit more because you had some of them bold and some of them were hard to see. How did you find this information?
