? The females in a lion pride (or group) tend to do the majority of the hunting. They work as a group and use intelligent hunting tactics to catch prey. Lionesses are caring mothers who will even take care of a neglected cub. Two or more lionesses in a group tend to give birth around the same time and the cubs will be raised together. Lion cubs are extremely playful and like humans, they use play to develop strength and coordination, while practicing their gross motor skills.

En el zoológico

Cameron Park Zoo has an active breeding program for lions, which is part of Worldwide conservation efforts. Look out for the enrichment items in the lion enclosure. The zoo goes to great lengths to make sure that its animals are relaxed, happy and never bored. Content animals are healthy animals.

Derramando el viento

Spilling the Wind se fundió en bronce de silicio en la fundición personal del artista, que ha operado con su padre desde 1983. Desde la época romana, el águila en el arte ha sido un símbolo de poder y visión clara. Aquí, el artista ha colocado al águila en un movimiento de vuelo casi vertical. Un ala se extiende hacia el cielo y la otra apunta hacia la tierra. Mientras tanto, esos ojos agudos miran hacia el futuro, quizás hacia el futuro. Observe la variación de color, que se debe a la aplicación de una pátina especial que define las plumas y ayuda a proteger el bronce.
