    Jose Gregorio Suter
    Simba is a lion with a scientific name of Panthera leo. Lions live in prides of about 10 females and 3 male brothers, and work together to hunt larger prey unlike most solitary cat species. They divide labor by sex. As apex predators, lions fill an important niche at the top of their habitat's food chain by keeping herbivore populations in check with no natural predators of their own.

They have also assigned labours depending on the type of sex you are. Most of the time their prides have about 10 females and 3 males that are usually brothers. What is a niche? A niche is a role the animal takes in the environment. In an habitat two animals cant have the same roles which means have the same niches, if this happens it might cause imbalance to the animal kingdom

    Lions are the top predators in their habitat and have almost no natural predators. Apex predators are important to the environment because they keep the herbivore populations in check. Lions referred prey animals are wildebeests, zebras, and warthogs and they share their habitat with many other predators, such as hyenas, wild dogs, crocodiles, and cheetahs.
