Why is the lion called king of the jungle?

The phrase is a misnomer because lions don't live in the jungle, they live out on the Savannah.Also because it is at the top of the food chain. Few animals will dare to challenge a lion, even in periods of extreme hunger, or fighting for territory. Hyena's often get into conflicts with lions since their food sources are essentially the same and have been known to attack and kill lions.An interesting related fact is that King Leonidas' name actually meant "lion-like,". He was the King of Sparta between 488BC and 480BC. Perhaps some people associate Africa with jungles, and since Lions live in Africa they make the erroneous association.The lion is called the king of the jungle because it is considered the strongest animal.Lions are usually nicknamed that because lions are known for its majesty, beauty, and strength, but the phrase is misleading because lions don't live in the jungle, they live out on the savannna. The title, "king of the jungle", should belong to the tiger.did u just wach it.Because it's top of the food chain

What does cardboard get recycled into?

The life of a cardboard box begins in the forest where softwood trees are cut down, stripped of their bark, and turned into wood chips. These wood chips are reduced even further into cellulose fibers in the pulping process. Natural oils are separated by adding fibers with water and creating a slurry. Now the fibers can be pressed and rolled into paper. Every step of the way has a large carbon footprint from burning fossil fuels in transportation, manufacturing, and processing. There is also a large amount of water used and wastewater produced. After using the cardboard box for its intended purpose, it can be recycled and used in the slurry process along with natural fibers. It might also end up in a compost bin or landfill. One ton of cardboard requires 3 tons of wood, which is a good reason to reuse as many times as possible and then recycle. BoxGiver is a great place to give your cardboard boxes away.
