World Lion Day
World Lion Day is celebrated on August 10th every year to raise awareness about the plight faced by lions. Lions are one of the most well-known and popular animal species out there. They are called the ‘Kings of the Jungle’ due to their arresting and fearsome personalities. A lion’s powerful roar is second to none, and it can be heard even five miles away. However, while lions existed in large populations 100 years ago, today, their numbers are just below 50,000 worldwide as a result of poaching and hunting.
