Contender 1: Lion
The lion, often referred to as the 'king of the jungle,' is a large, powerfully built cat known for its tawny coat and, in males, a magnificent mane. They are native to Africa and a small region in western India. Adult male lions can weigh up to 420 pounds, while females, who are primarily responsible for hunting, are slightly smaller. Lions are social animals and live in groups called prides, which are usually composed of related females, their cubs, and a small number of adult males.

Fun Fact: Lions are the most socially inclined of all wild felids, most of which remain quite solitary in nature.
Contender 2: Camel
Camels are large, hardy mammals known for their distinctive humped backs, which store fat reserves to sustain the animal in harsh desert environments where food and water are scarce. There are two primary species: the dromedary camel, which has a single hump, and the Bactrian camel, which has two. Camels are well adapted to survive in extreme temperatures, with long legs, leathery pads on their feet to prevent sinking in the sand, and thick eyelashes and ear hairs to keep out sand and dust.
Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief, camels do not store water in their humps - they are actually filled with fatty tissue that the camel can metabolize for energy when food is scarce.
