The document describes the living and eating habits of several animals: - Lions live in prides and hunt cooperatively, with lionesses doing most of the hunting. They mainly eat wild beasts, buffalos, zebras and antelope but occasionally become man-eaters. - Dogs form territories and use smell to communicate. They are omnivores but favor meat like rabbits and discarded animal flesh. - Elephants spend most of their day eating and consume grasses, plants, fruits, bark and roots. They use tusks to tear bark from trees. - Crocodiles are solitary and live in warm climates near water. They are carnivores that eat animals like boars,
