There Are No Actual ‘Lion Kings’

We know animals are intelligent, but what we don’t know is how to compare the intelligence of one animal to another. Our Animal IQ Rubric helps us measure five domains of intelligence to finally answer the question: how smart are Earth’s animals?

There Are No Actual ‘Lion Kings’

Season 1 Episode 7 | 8m 27s | CC

Lions are social animals living in small pride groups containing both males and females (a rarity in the animal kingdom). Some might think of the lion as all brawn and no brains, but they’re so much more. Dr. Natalia Borrego calls Brian Dowling from Lion Country Safari to talk about everything Panthera Leo!
