King of the Jungle

Should Lions be called King?
It does have a most royal ring
He holds his head most high
I bet the lioness always sigh

On his head a flowing mane
His tail long with tuft plain
His family properly a Pride
Males, females, cubs abide.

Wikipedia has all the facts
If you are following the tracks
Go to Africa to find his home
The Bush is where he will roam

A favorite to see in his habitat
Behind barriers is my advise
Though majestic, he’s a big cat
Getting close is not very wise.

African Lion is beautiful to see

But not for me and I do not lie

The zoo is the best place to be
For I do not want to be a cat pie.
