Lion – King Of The Apex Predators

<p>Is there a more iconic&nbsp;<strong>Apex Predator</strong>&nbsp;than the&nbsp;<strong>Lion</strong>&nbsp;anywhere on planet Earth? I think not &mdash; everyone knows the&nbsp;<strong>King of the Jungle</strong>!</p> <p>However, does everyone know the ecological significance of apex predators?</p> <p>On this point I&rsquo;m not sure. Take trophy hunters for example, they certainly must not know. Otherwise, why would they be intent on killing such important animals just for sport?</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve encountered lions many times in the bush and they are truly magnificent animals &mdash; animals that should be cherished.</p> <p>One particularly lucky encounter stands above the rest as my favourite. Here is an excerpt from a piece I wrote about that very encounter.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/something-simple/lion-king-of-the-apex-predators-a5ab357b3ba0"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
