The lion seldom tears the skin of the neck, and never, as is generally supposed, sucks the blood of its victim; but he cuts into the side, just behind the foreshoulder, and eats the liver first.

He rolls the skin back as neatly and tightly as a person could do it.

When he has gorged himself, he drags the carcass into a ravine or dense thicket, and rakes leaves, sticks or dirt over it to hide it from other animals.

Usually he returns to his cache on the second night, and after that the frequency of his visits depends on the supply of fresh prey.
In remote regions, unfrequented by man, the lion will guard his cache from coyote and buzzards.
In sex there are about five female lions to one male.

This is caused by the jealous and vicious disposition of the male.
