Lions are great cats. Males have a distinguishing mane of fur around their necks, while females appear sleeker and more closely resemble other great cats. Lions are traditionally tan or beige of color, to blend with tall grasses. They are predators, fully capable of running down prey, but prefer to ambush when possible. Lions as mounts are somewhat unpredictable, sometimes posing a danger to a careless rider.
