Lions have large paws to pin prey, a good sense of smell to track prey from far away, and manes that can scare prey. Their sandy fur allows them to camouflage as they creep up on prey. Lions are also called panthera Leo. Habitats provide animals with food, shelter, warmth and water as well as a place to raise young safely. Adaptations allow animals like fish to be suited to their environment such as living in the sea.
