The lion is a faster runner due to its size, and can run up to 50 mph. The domestic cat can run up to 30 mph. Lions hunt in groups to bring down prey much larger than themselves, while most cat species will hunt alone - usually hunting prey equal or smaller than themselves. Domestic cats usually hunt mice, rats, birds, frogs and even rabbits. Human owners feed domestic cats pre-cooked meat and biscuits.

Aside from size, there isn't many differences between a cat and a lion. Both are strict carnivores, so have the same type of teeth for killing prey and eating meat, organs and bone. Both hunt in the same way: Creeping up to its prey then pouncing, holding it down with strong muscles. Both have retractable claws.

All cats are different from one another because they have a completely different anatomy. though lions and tigers have alike bone structure they are still unique in there own way. Some specail things that separate a lion from other big cats is that it is the most sociable cat and bonds closely with its pride. They hunt day or night, and can have up to 3 male leaders of there pride. There favorite meal is zebra but will try to hunt what ever happens to be around.
